Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into crinkle-cut shapes using a crinkle cutter or a knife.

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

    Place the crinkle-cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch for crispier fries.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the soaked potatoes to the hot oil in batches. Fry them for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

  5. 5

    Drain and Season

    Remove the fries from the oil and drain them on paper towels. Season immediately with salt, black pepper, and paprika to taste.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the crinkle-cut fries hot with your favorite dipping sauces!
