Fries Ingredients

Method

Fries Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into thin strips or your desired shape.

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

    Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 3

    Dry the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove moisture.

  4. 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. 5

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the dried potato strips to the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Drain and Season

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and drain them on paper towels. While they are still hot, season with salt, paprika, and garlic powder to taste.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the fries immediately, either plain or with your favorite dipping sauce.
