Method
Preparing the Fries
Cut the Potatoes
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and will make the fries crispier.
Drain and Dry
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible.
Frying the Fries
Heat the Oil
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). You can use a thermometer to check the temperature.
Fry in Batches
Carefully add a handful of the dried potato strips into the hot oil. Fry them for about 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Do not overcrowd the pot.
Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and drain them on a plate lined with paper towels. Immediately sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste.
Assembling Pub Fries
Layer the Fries
Place a generous portion of fries on a serving platter or individual plates.
Add Toppings
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon evenly over the fries. Then, add chopped green onions on top.
Serve with Sour Cream
Serve the pub fries hot with a dollop of sour cream on the side for dipping.
