Potatoes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Wash and Peel the Potatoes

    Start by washing the Russet potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. Peel the potatoes using a vegetable peeler.

  2. 2

    Cut the Potatoes

    Cut each potato into long strips, about 1/4 inch thick. Aim for uniformity to ensure even cooking.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan or a heavy pot, pour in the vegetable oil. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  2. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add a handful of the cut potato strips into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry the potatoes for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.

  3. 5

    Remove and Drain

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Seasoning

  1. 6

    Season the Fries

    While the fries are still hot, sprinkle them with salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper to taste. Toss gently to coat evenly.
