Method

SIDES

1

Prep

Rinse and scrub the potatoes. Cut into even fries about 1/4 inch thick. Leave skin on or peel according to preference.

2

Soak

Place cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and soak for 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

3

Dry

Drain potatoes and pat completely dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove surface moisture.

4

Season

In a large bowl, toss the dried potatoes with olive oil, sea salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper until evenly coated.

5

First fry

Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to 325°F (165°C). Fry potatoes in batches for 3-4 minutes until pale and flexible. Remove to a rack or paper towels to drain.

6

Second fry

Increase oil temperature to 375°F (190°C). Fry batches again for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Drain on towels.

7

Serve

Season to taste with additional salt if desired. Serve immediately with dipping sauces.
