Hand-Cut Fries Ingredients

Method

Hand-Cut Fries Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into even strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

    Place the cut fries in a large bowl of cold water and soak them for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry with a clean towel.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the dried potato strips to the hot oil in batches. Fry for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Season the Fries

    While still hot, season the fries with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to taste.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the hand-cut fries immediately while hot and crispy.
