Method
Directions
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into evenly sized strips (about 1/4 inch thick) to ensure even cooking.
- 2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potato strips in a large bowl of cold water. Soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps them become crispier.
- 3
Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a deep fryer or a large heavy pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
- 5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a handful of dried potato strips to the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- 6
Drain and Season
Remove the fries from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. While still hot, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and paprika to taste.
- 7
Serve
Serve the French fries hot as a side dish or snack. Enjoy!
