Method
Preparation
- 1
Wash and Cut the Potatoes
Thoroughly wash the russet potatoes to remove any dirt. Cut each potato into long strips, about 1/4 inch thick, to create fries.
- 2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut fries in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and results in crispier fries.
Cooking
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large deep pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
- 4
Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- 5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a handful of dried potato strips into the hot oil. Fry them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
