Instructions for House-Made Fries
- 1
Preparing the Potatoes
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into even sticks, about 1/4 inch thick.
- 2
Soaking the Potatoes
Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch.
- 3
Drying the Fries
After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry with paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible.
- 4
Heating the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- 5
Frying the Fries
Carefully add the fries in batches to the hot oil, frying them for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- 6
Draining and Seasoning
Remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. While still hot, sprinkle with salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper to taste.
- 7
Serving
Serve the fries hot, either as a side dish or as a snack with your favorite dipping sauce.
