Method

For the Pomme Frites

1

Prepare the Potatoes

Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips to resemble fries.

2

Soak the Potatoes

Soak the cut fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

3

Heat the Oil

In a deep fryer or a large pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

4

Fry the Potatoes

Carefully add the soaked potatoes to the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per batch.

5

Drain and Season

Remove the fries and drain on paper towels. While still hot, sprinkle with salt to taste.
