Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Wash and Cut Potatoes

    Begin by washing the russet potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. After cleaning, peel the potatoes if desired. Cut the potatoes into uniform sticks, approximately 1/4 inch thick, to ensure even cooking.

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

    Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and results in crispier fries.

Frying

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large, deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the correct temperature for frying.

  2. 4

    Dry and Fry the Potatoes

    After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean towel to remove excess moisture. Carefully add a batch of potatoes to the hot oil, being cautious not to overcrowd the pot. Fry the potatoes for about 5-6 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

  3. 5

    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. While they are still hot, sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve with Ketchup

    Transfer the fries to a serving platter. Serve immediately with ketchup on the side for dipping.
