Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 liters Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and slice them lengthwise into 1/8-inch-thick rectangles. Use a mandoline slicer if available to ensure even thickness.
Rinse the potato slices in cold water to remove excess starch. Drain and pat them completely dry with a kitchen towel or paper towels.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or large, heavy-bottomed pot to 275°F (135°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature carefully.
Working in small batches, place the potato slices into the oil and fry for 5-6 minutes, stirring gently to prevent sticking. The slices should not color at this stage but should become slightly translucent. Remove them with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C). Return the pre-fried potato slices to the oil in small batches. Fry them a second time, gently stirring and shaking the pot to encourage them to puff up. This will take about 2-3 minutes.
Once puffed and golden brown, remove the potatoes from the oil and drain on fresh paper towels. Sprinkle immediately with salt while they're hot.
Repeat the frying process for the remaining batches until all the potato slices are cooked.
Serve the soufflé potatoes immediately while hot and crispy. They pair wonderfully with dipping sauces or as a side dish to complement any meal.
