Fry Sauce
Method
Preparing the Fries
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut each potato into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick, to create fries.
- 2
Soak 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 and makes the fries crispier.
- 3
Dry the Fries
After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Removing moisture is key to achieving crispy fries.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large deep pot or fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
- 5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a batch of fries to the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pot. Fry for 4-5 minutes until they are golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- 6
Season the Fries
While the fries are still hot, season them with salt and black pepper to taste.
