Method
Preparation
Cooking
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to check the temperature for accuracy.
Dry the Potatoes
Drain the soaked fries and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Fry the Potatoes
Working in batches, carefully add the fries to the hot oil. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pot.
Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Immediately sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serving
Serve with Ketchup
Transfer the crispy fries to a serving plate and serve with a cup of ketchup on the side for dipping.
