Ingredients for Large French Fries
Method
Directions for Making Large French Fries
- 1
Preparing the Potatoes
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into large strips, about 1/2 inch thick.
- 2
Soaking the Potatoes
Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and makes for crispier fries.
- 3
Drying the Fries
Drain the soaked fries and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- 4
Heating 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 completely submerge the fries.
- 5
Frying the Fries
Working in batches, carefully add the dried fries to the hot oil. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Do not overcrowd the pot.
