Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into uniform strips, about 1/4 inch thick, to ensure even cooking.
- 2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch, resulting in crispier fries.
Cooking
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the right temperature.
- 4
Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels. This step is crucial to avoid oil splatter and to help the fries crisp up.
- 5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a batch of the dried potato strips to the hot oil. Fry them for about 4-5 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pot.
- 6
Drain and Season
Once cooked, remove the fries from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels. While they are still hot, sprinkle with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to taste.
