Fries Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into thin strips to resemble fries. Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Ensure there is enough oil to fully submerge the fries.

  3. 3

    Fry the Potatoes

    Remove the soaked potatoes from the water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Carefully add the potatoes to the hot oil in batches, frying for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Drain and Season

    Once fried, use a slotted spoon to remove the fries from the oil and drain them on paper towels. While still hot, season with salt, black pepper, and paprika to taste.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the fries hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
