Potatoes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into your desired shape (hashbrowns, fries, or wedges). If making mashed potatoes, boil the potatoes whole until fork-tender.

  2. 2

    Soak (For Fries)

    If making fries, soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain and pat dry.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat Oil

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

  2. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the potatoes in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes for fries and 3-5 minutes for hashbrowns.

  3. 5

    Drain and Season

    Remove from oil and let drain on paper towels. While hot, sprinkle with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

Serve

  1. 6

    Enjoy

    Serve hot as a side dish or snack. Enjoy your crispy potatoes!
