ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 quarts vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Optional: fresh herbs (parsley or chives) for garnish
steps
- 1.
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes, then cut them into uniform sticks, about 1/2 inch thick.
- 2.
Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water to soak for at least 30 minutes, which helps remove excess starch.
- 3.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a kitchen towel to remove moisture.
- 4.
In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C) over medium heat.
- 5.
Fry the potatoes in batches for 4-5 minutes until they are lightly golden but not fully cooked.
- 6.
Remove the fries from the oil and let them drain on paper towels. Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C).
- 7.
Return the partially fried potatoes to the hot oil in batches and fry for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- 8.
Transfer the fries to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- 9.
Immediately sprinkle with sea salt, garlic powder, and paprika while they’re hot.
- 10.
Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve immediately with your preferred dipping sauces.
