Fries
Method
Preparation
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin, even strips to form the fries.
Soak the Fries
Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
Drain and Dry
After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry using paper towels.
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the fries to the hot oil in batches, frying them for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Season the Fries
While still hot, sprinkle the fries with salt to taste.
