Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1.5 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Fish sauce (optional)
- 0.25 cup Chopped roasted peanuts
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 2 stalks Green onions
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into evenly-sized fries, about 1/4-inch thick.
Place the potato slices in cold water for 10 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry with a kitchen towel.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully fry the potato slices in batches for 3-5 minutes, or until they begin to turn light golden. Remove and let rest on a paper towel-lined tray.
Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C) and fry the partially-cooked fries again for 2-4 minutes, or until crispy and deep golden brown. Drain on fresh paper towels and sprinkle with a pinch of salt while still hot.
For the sauce, finely mince the garlic. In a small mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, sriracha, garlic, and fish sauce (if using). Whisk together until the sugar dissolves.
Drizzle the Thai sauce over the hot fries, tossing gently to coat them evenly.
Finely chop the cilantro and green onions. Sprinkle them over the fries along with the roasted peanuts for garnish.
Serve immediately, either as a side or standalone snack, and enjoy your Thai-inspired fries!
