Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 4 cups of vegetable oil (or any frying oil)
- Salt to taste
- Optional: spices (paprika, garlic powder, etc.)
Instructions
- Peel and cut the potatoes: Wash the potatoes thoroughly, peel them, and slice them into thin sticks of your desired thickness.
- Soak the potatoes: Place the cut potatoes into a bowl of cold water and let them sit for 30 minutes to remove excess starch. This will help achieve extra crispiness.
- Dry completely: Drain the potatoes and use a kitchen towel to pat them completely dry.
- Preheat oil: Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or fryer to 325°F (160°C).
- First fry: Fry the potatoes in batches for 4-5 minutes or until they begin to look slightly cooked but not browned. Remove and drain on a paper towel.
- Increase heat: Raise the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C).
- Second fry: Fry the potatoes again in hot oil for 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Season and serve: Immediately sprinkle salt (or seasonings of your choice) on the hot fries. Serve fresh!
Tips for Perfect Fries
- Use russet potatoes for the best texture and flavor.
- Double frying ensures crispy and fluffy fries.
- Always dry the fries thoroughly before frying to prevent splattering and promote crispiness.
