Fries
Method
Preparation and Cooking
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick, and soak them in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Make sure there is enough oil to fully submerge the fries.
- 3
Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- 4
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the dried potato strips to the hot oil in batches. Fry them for about 5-6 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove the fries with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels.

Season the Fries
