Fries

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips or wedges, about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

    Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 3

    Dry the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the potatoes in batches to the hot oil, frying them for 3-5 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

  6. 6

    Drain and Season

    Remove the fries from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain. While still hot, sprinkle with sea salt to taste.

  7. 7

    Serve with Ketchup

    Serve the fries hot with your favorite ketchup on the side.
