Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into crinkle-cut shapes using a crinkle cutter knife.
- 2
Soak the Potatoes
Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.
- 3
Dry the Potatoes
Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- 5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the dried crinkle-cut potatoes to the hot oil in small batches. Fry for about 5-6 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- 6
Drain and Season
Remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. Immediately sprinkle with salt, paprika, and garlic powder to taste.
- 7
Serve
Serve the crispy crinkle-cut fries hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
