Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick).
- 2
Soak the Fries
Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch.
- 3
Dry the Fries
After soaking, drain the fries and lay them out on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Pat them dry to remove excess moisture.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
- 5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a batch of fries to the hot oil. Fry them for about 4-5 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Avoid overcrowding the pot.
- 6
Drain and Season
Remove the fries using a slotted spoon and let them drain on paper towels. While they are still hot, sprinkle with salt to taste.
- 7
Serve
Serve the salted fries hot as a side dish or snack.
