Fries Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into even strips, about 1/4 inch thick. Rinse the cut potatoes in cold water to remove excess starch, then soak them in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Dry the Potatoes

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

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the dried potato strips in batches to the hot oil. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

  5. 5

    Drain and Season

    Remove the fries from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. While still hot, season with salt, black pepper, and paprika to taste.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the fries hot as a delicious snack or side dish.
