Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients:
- 4 large russet potatoes
- Vegetable oil (for deep frying)
- Salt (for seasoning)
- Optional: Garlic powder, paprika, or other seasonings
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and cut the potatoes into 1/4 to 1/2 inch strips. Soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry.
- Heat the Oil: In a deep fryer or large pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Ensure the oil is enough to submerge the fries.
- Fry the Potatoes: Fry the potato strips for 4-6 minutes, working in batches if necessary, until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Season and Serve: While still hot, sprinkle with salt or additional seasonings. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside a main dish.
Notes
- Double fry for extra crispiness: Fry the potatoes in two stages—first at a lower temperature and then at a higher temperature for extra crispiness.
- Use a thermometer: Ensure the oil reaches the correct temperature for crispy fries.
- Avoid overcrowding: Frying too many potatoes at once can result in limp fries.
