1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick, to resemble traditional fries.
2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.
3
Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
4
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).
5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a batch of the dried potato strips to the hot oil. Fry them for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan.
6
Drain and Season
Once cooked, remove the fries from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. While still hot, sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and any optional seasonings to taste.
7
Serve
Serve the fries hot as a delicious side dish. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauces!
