Potato Preparation
Method
Preparation and Cooking
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and scrub the Russet potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
- 2
Cut the Waffle Fries
Using a waffle cutter or a knife, slice the potatoes into waffle-shaped fries, making sure they are evenly cut for consistent cooking.
- 3
Soak the Fries
Place the cut fries in a large bowl of cold water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps them to become crispier when fried.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large heavy-bottomed 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.
- 5
Dry the Fries
After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- 6
Fry the Fries
Carefully add a handful of fries to the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry them in batches for about 5-6 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Serve
Serve the waffle fries immediately while hot, with your choice of dipping sauces.
