French Fries Ingredients

Preparation

Preparation Instructions

1. Prepare the Potatoes

Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into even-sized strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick.

2. Soak the Potatoes

Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes them crispier when fried.

3. Heat the Oil

In a deep fryer or large heavy pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

4. Dry the Potatoes

Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible.

5. Fry the Potatoes

Carefully add a handful of dried potato strips to the hot oil. Fry them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.

6. Season the Fries

Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and let them drain on paper towels. While still hot, sprinkle with salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper to taste.

7. Serve

Serve the fries hot, either on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce.
