Fries
Method
Preparation
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into evenly sized sticks, approximately 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
Soak the Fries
Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.
Dry the Fries
After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry with a clean towel.
Heat the Oil
In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a handful of fries to the hot oil and fry in batches. Do not overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Drain and Season
Remove the fries from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. While they are still hot, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and paprika if desired.
Serve Hot
Serve the hand-cut fries immediately while hot, with your favorite dipping sauce or ketchup.
