Enjoy these crispy and golden potato sticks, perfect as a snack or side dish.
Peel the potatoes and cut them into uniform sticks.
Uniform cuts ensure even cooking and a consistent texture.
Soak the potato sticks in a bowl of cold water with salt for 30 minutes.
Soaking removes excess starch, making the fries crispier.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels.
Ensure the potatoes are completely dry to avoid oil splatter.
Heat the oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C).
Use a thermometer to maintain the correct oil temperature.
Fry the potatoes in batches for 2 minutes, then remove and drain on paper towels.
Frying in batches prevents the oil temperature from dropping.
Let the potatoes cool for 10 minutes.
Cooling helps set the exterior for the second fry.
Increase the oil temperature to 400°F (200°C) and fry the potatoes again for 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy.
The second fry gives the potatoes their signature crispiness.
Season the fries with salt and pepper while hot.
Seasoning while hot ensures the flavors adhere to the fries.
