Ingredients
- 3 large Russet potatoes
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Directions
Step 1
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thick crinkle-cut slices using a crinkle cutter for an authentic shape.
Step 2
Place the cut potatoes into a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for about 15 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps achieve the desired crispiness.
Step 3
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly using paper towels. It's important that they are as dry as possible before frying.
Step 4
In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 325°F (163°C). Use a cooking thermometer to ensure the correct temperature.
Step 5
Working in batches, carefully add the potato slices to the hot oil and fry them for about 5 to 6 minutes or until they begin to turn a light golden color. Remove them with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Step 6
Once all the potatoes have been fried once, increase the heat of the oil to 375°F (190°C).
Step 7
Again, working in batches, fry the potatoes a second time for an additional 2 to 3 minutes or until they are crisp and golden brown.
Step 8
Remove the fries from the oil and drain them on fresh paper towels.
Step 9
Immediately season the hot fries with sea salt and a sprinkle of paprika, tossing to ensure an even coating.
Step 10
Serve the fries hot, on their own or with your favorite dipping sauces.
