Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Wash and Cut the Potatoes

    Thoroughly wash the Russet potatoes under cold water. Using a crinkle cutter, slice the potatoes into crinkle-cut fries, keeping them uniform in thickness for even cooking.

  2. 2

    Soak the Fries

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

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can use a thermometer to check the temperature.

  2. 4

    Dry the Fries

    After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This step is crucial to avoid oil splatter.

  3. 5

    Fry the Fries

    Carefully add a handful of fries to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

  4. 6

    Drain and Season

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. While they are still hot, sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and any optional seasonings you desire.
