6. Fry Until Golden
Carefully add the potatoes in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry them until they turn golden brown and crispy, about 4–6 minutes per batch, depending on thickness. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and let excess oil drain on a paper towel–lined plate.
7. Serve and Enjoy
Sprinkle your freshly fried potatoes with salt (and any other seasoning you like — paprika, garlic powder, or parmesan work great). Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup, aioli, or spicy mayo.
✅ Pro Tips for Perfect Fries:
-
Double fry for extra crunch: For even crispier fries, fry them once until pale golden, let them rest for a few minutes, then fry a second time for deeper color and crunch.
-
Use starchy potatoes: Russet potatoes give the best results due to their high starch content.
-
Add seasonings after frying: Always season after cooking to keep the fries crispy.
