Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, chopped for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the four large Russet potatoes and cut them into evenly-sized sticks, roughly 1/4 inch thick.
Place the potato sticks in a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Soak for 30 minutes to remove excess starch. This will help achieve a crispier fry.
Drain the potatoes and pat them completely dry using paper towels. They must be dry to ensure proper frying.
Heat 4 cups of vegetable oil in a large, deep pot or Dutch oven over medium heat to a temperature of 325°F (165°C). Use a kitchen thermometer to monitor the temperature.
Working in batches, fry the potatoes for the first time at 325°F. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the fries are tender but not browned. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on a baking sheet lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Allow the fries to rest for 10-15 minutes while you increase the oil's temperature to 375°F (190°C).
Once the oil is at the higher temperature, fry the potatoes again in batches for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and place them back on a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain.
While the fries are still hot, sprinkle them with 2 teaspoons of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, 0.5 teaspoons of garlic powder, and 0.5 teaspoons of paprika. Toss the fries to coat evenly.
Garnish with 2 tablespoons of fresh chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your crispy Twice Baked French Fries!
