Method
Preparation of Fries
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
- 2
Soak the Fries
Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.
- 3
Dry the Fries
After soaking, drain the water and pat the fries dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.

Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the dried fries to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Drain the Fries
Once fried, use a slotted spoon to remove the fries and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Season immediately with salt.
