Fries
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash the Russet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Peel them if desired, then cut them into thick strips, about 1/4 inch wide.
- 2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch for crispier fries.
- 3
Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- 5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the dried potato strips to the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- 6
Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Immediately season with sea salt, paprika, and garlic powder while they are still hot.
- 7
Serve
Serve the hand-cut fries hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
