Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cutting the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into long, thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Soaking the Potatoes

    Place the cut potato strips in a bowl of cold water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heating the Oil

    In a deep fryer or large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  2. 4

    Frying the Potatoes

    Remove the potatoes from the water and pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Carefully add a batch of potato strips to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown.

  3. 5

    Draining and Seasoning

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. While they are still hot, sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serving the Fries

    Serve the crispy golden fries hot with a side of ketchup for dipping.
