Ingredients
Potatoes
Oil
Seasoning
Preparation
1. Peel and Cut Potatoes
Peel the Russet potatoes and rinse them under cold water. Cut each potato into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
2. Soak Potatoes
Place the cut potato strips in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch, leading to crispier fries.
Cooking
3. Heat Oil
In a deep fryer or a heavy-bottom pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the right temperature.
4. Dry Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
5. Fry Potatoes
Carefully add a handful of potato strips to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
6. Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. While still hot, sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and paprika to taste.
