Ingredients for Pommes Frites

Preparation

Cooking Directions for Pommes Frites

1. Prepare the Potatoes

Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick) to create classic fries.

2. Soak the Potatoes

Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps achieve a crispier texture.

3. Dry the Potatoes

Drain the water and pat the potatoes dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove moisture.

4. Heat the Oil

In a large, heavy pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.

5. Fry the Potatoes

Carefully add the potatoes in batches, frying them for about 5-6 minutes until golden brown. Do not overcrowd the pot.

6. Drain and Season

Remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. Immediately season with salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper while they are still hot.

7. Serve

Serve the Pommes Frites hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
