Basket Of Fries Recipe

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Potatoes

   Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

2. 2

   Soak the Potatoes

   Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and makes them crispier.

3. 3

   Heat the Oil

   In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the correct temperature.

4. 4

   Fry the Potatoes

   Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with a paper towel. Working in batches, carefully add the potatoes to the hot oil, frying them for about 5-6 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate.

5. 5

   Season the Fries

   While the fries are still hot, sprinkle them with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder to taste.

6. 6

   Serve

   Transfer the fries to a serving basket or platter and serve immediately.
