Fries Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into even-sized sticks, about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

    Place the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat them dry with paper towels.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the soaked and dried potato sticks to the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Season the Fries

    While the fries are still hot, sprinkle with garlic powder, sea salt, black pepper, and dried herbs. Toss to coat evenly.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the fries hot as a side dish or snack.
