Fries
Method
Preparation
- 1
Cut the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into evenly sized fries, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
- 2
Soak the Fries
Place the cut fries in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). You can use a thermometer to check the temperature.
- 4
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the soaked and drained fries to the hot oil in batches. Fry them for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- 5
Season the Fries
While the fries are still hot, sprinkle them with Old Bay seasoning and salt to taste. Toss to coat evenly.
- 6
Serve
Serve the Old Bay fries hot, either as a side dish or a snack. Enjoy!
