Method
Preparing the Potatoes
- 1
Wash and Peel
Thoroughly wash the russet potatoes under cool running water to remove any dirt. Use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin from each potato.
- 2
Cut into Fries
Slice each potato into even strips, about 1/4 inch thick. Try to keep the size consistent for even cooking.
Soaking the Fries
- 3
Soak in Water
Place the cut fries in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.
Frying the Fries
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the correct temperature.
- 5
Dry the Fries
Drain the soaked fries and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- 6
Fry in Batches
Carefully add a batch of fries to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- 7
Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Immediately sprinkle with salt and the prepared seasoning blend.
