One of the most loved finger food by kids and adults alike! French fries make snacking look good. They are easy to eat as well as easy to cook. Thinly sliced potatoes are deep-fried till they're crisp on all sides and then sprinkled with salt, pepper or really any seasoning of your choice. Enjoy the recipe.
Cut the potatoes into matchsticks, either with a knife or with a french fry cutter. The potato pieces should all be similar in size.
Place the potatoes in a bowl of cold water. Soak the potatoes for at least 30 minutes.
Drain the water from the potatoes. Place the potatoes on a layer of paper towels and pat thoroughly with additional towels until dry.
Pour oil into a large deep pot. Heat the oil to 300 degrees F.
Place about 1/3 of the potatoes in the pot, and cook until tender. This takes about 4-5 minutes. Repeat the process with the remaining potatoes.
Now Increase the heat of the oil to 400 degrees F. Place 1/3 of the potatoes back in the pot and cook for an additional 1-3 minutes or until golden brown. Repeat the process with the remaining potatoes. Place the cooked potatoes on a sheet pan lined with paper towels.
Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste over the fries, then serve immediately.
