Cooking Instructions

Preparation of Potatoes
Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick). Rinse the potato strips in cold water to remove excess starch, then soak them for at least 30 minutes.

Drying the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean towel to remove any excess moisture.

Heating the Oil
In a large, deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Frying the Potatoes
Carefully add a batch of the dried potato strips to the hot oil. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove them with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Seasoning
While the fries are still hot, sprinkle them with salt and pepper to taste. Repeat the frying process with the remaining potato strips.
