Ingredients
Potatoes
- 2 large Russet Potatoes peeled and cut into 1/2-inch thick fries
Frying
- 3 cup Vegetable Oil for deep frying, or other high-heat oil
Instructions
Prepare the Potatoes
- Toss the peeled and cut potatoes with salt and pepper. Let them sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the potatoes to release excess moisture.
Dry the Potatoes Thoroughly
- Use paper towels to thoroughly dry the potatoes. Excess moisture will prevent crispiness. Pat them down well!
Heat the Oil
- In a large, deep pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 325°F (160°C). Use a thermometer to ensure accurate temperature.
Fry the Potatoes
- Carefully add the potatoes to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry in batches for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden and slightly softened. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Second Fry for Crispiness
- Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C). Add the potatoes back to the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and extra crispy.
Drain and Serve
- Remove the fries from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Fries
- Soaking is Key: Soaking the potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes before frying helps to remove excess starch, resulting in crispier fries.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: Overcrowding lowers the oil temperature, resulting in soggy fries. Fry in batches for best results.
- Double Frying is Best: The double-frying method ensures perfectly crisp fries on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Don't skip this step!
- Seasoning Options: Experiment with different seasonings! Try adding garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or even a Cajun spice blend for extra flavor.
