Method
Preparation
- 1
Wash and Cut Potatoes
Thoroughly wash the russet potatoes under running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel. Cut each potato into evenly sized strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
- 2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potato strips in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch, resulting in crispier fries.
Frying
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, add the vegetable oil and heat it to 350°F (175°C) over medium-high heat. Use a thermometer to check the temperature for accuracy.
- 4
Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and thoroughly dry them with paper towels. Removing excess moisture is crucial to achieving crispy fries.
- 5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a few potato strips to the hot oil at a time, being cautious not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil.
