Homemade French Fries
You don't need to head to the drive-thru!
- 1 Quart - Vegetable Oil
- 3 Whole - Russet Potatoes
- 1 Pinch - Salt To Taste
1. Slice the potatoes 1/2 inch thick. 2. Soak them cold in water for at least an hour or overnight. The longer you soak, the crispier the fry. 3. Rinse them twice with cold water and pat the completely dry. 4. Heat oil to 300 degrees. Fry them in about 6 batches for 5-6 minutes. Don’t overcrowd them by placing too many in at a time, they won’t be as crispy. Use a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel. 5. Increase heat to 400 degrees. Fry in batches until golden brown, about 5 minutes. 6. Place them on paper towels and sprinkle immediately with salt (as much as you need). Serve with a dip of your choice.
