Making fries from potatoes is a tasty endeavor! First, choose a starchy variety like Russet potatoes. Peel and cut them into uniform strips. Soak the strips in cold water for about 30 minutes to remove excess starch, then pat them dry. Fry them in hot oil (around 350°F) until golden and crisp. Do you have a favorite dip you like with your fries, or are you trying something new in your kitchen?
