Ready to make some of the best fries of your life? Let’s get started with what you’ll need:
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- Ice water
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- First off, you want to peel those potatoes. Once you got ’em peeled, cut them into strips about 1/4 inch thick. Yeah, you want them nice and even, so they cook up perfectly!
- Next, toss those potato strips into a big bowl of ice water. Let ’em soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to get rid of excess starch, and trust me, it’s gonna make your fries extra crispy!
- When you’re ready to fry, heat up some vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot. You want that oil to reach about 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer if you got one, it’ll make life easier.
- While that oil is heating, drain the potatoes and give them a good pat down with a paper towel to dry them off. Don’t skip this step, fam—wet potatoes in hot oil don’t mix well!
- Once the oil is hot, carefully add a handful of the potato strips. Don’t overcrowd the pot, or they won’t fry up nice and crisp. Fry ‘em in batches for about 5-7 minutes, until they are golden brown.
- Remove the fries with a slotted spoon and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Sprinkle them with a little salt while they’re still hot!
- Repeat until all your fries are cooked. Enjoy your masterpiece with your favorite dipping sauce, or just munch on ’em plain. Either way, you’re in for a treat!
And there you have it—Chef John’s French Fries, made right in your own kitchen. They’re crispy, salty, and downright addictive! So get on out there and whip up a batch. You won’t regret it!
