Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 1 liter Vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into sticks approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Place the potato sticks in a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps in achieving crispiness.
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 325°F (165°C). Use a thermometer for accurate measurement.
Fry the potatoes in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes, just until they are soft and pale. This is the first fry which will cook them through. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C).
Fry the potatoes a second time in batches for another 3-4 minutes, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fries with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Immediately season with salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper while still hot, tossing to coat evenly.
Serve the fries hot and enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce.
