Ingredients
- 6 large Russet potatoes
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons Corn syrup
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 8 cups Water
- 1 tray Ice cubes
Directions
Step 1
Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into 1/4-inch-wide sticks. Aim to keep them uniform for even cooking.
Step 2
Rinse the cut potatoes under cold water to remove excess starch, then set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine 8 cups of cold water, 3 tablespoons of corn syrup, and a tray of ice cubes. Stir until the corn syrup is dissolved.
Step 4
Soak the potato sticks in the ice water mixture for at least 30 minutes. This step helps achieve that signature crispy texture.
Step 5
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel.
Step 6
In a deep fryer or a large heavy-bottomed pot, heat 4 cups of vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C).
Step 7
Working in small batches, fry the potato sticks for 1-2 minutes, just until they are pale and softened but not browned. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined tray to drain. This first fry is crucial for achieving the perfect texture later.
Step 8
If preparing for OAMC, allow the partially fried potatoes to cool completely, then spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for 1-2 hours until solid, and then transfer them to resealable freezer bags. Label and store them in the freezer for up to 1 month.
Step 9
When ready to serve, heat the oil again to 375°F (190°C). Fry the frozen potatoes in small batches for 3-4 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Do not overcrowd the fryer.
Step 10
Remove the fries, drain on paper towels, and immediately sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of salt, or to taste.
Step 11
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
