Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

    Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat them dry with paper towels.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add a handful of the dried potato strips to the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Season the Fries

    While the fries are still hot, sprinkle with salt and any optional seasonings you desire.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the French fries hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
