- Black pepper – to taste
- Fresh parsley chopped – optional
Instructions
Cut the Potatoes
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into even sticks. Keep the size similar for even cooking.
Soak the Potatoes
- Place potato sticks in cold water. Soak for at least thirty minutes to remove excess starch.

Parboil the Potatoes

Cool the Potatoes
- Remove potatoes carefully and place on a tray. Let them cool completely before frying.
Heat the Oil
- Heat oil to 325°F in a deep pan. Use enough oil so fries can float freely.
First Fry
- Fry potatoes in small batches for five minutes. They should cook without turning brown.
Drain and Rest
- Remove fries and place on paper towels. Let them rest for ten minutes.
Second Fry
- Increase oil temperature to 375°F. Fry again until golden, crispy, and perfectly cooked.
Season and Serve
- Remove fries and season immediately with salt and pepper. Serve hot for best taste.
Notes
- Use russet potatoes for best crispiness.
- Always dry potatoes well before frying.
- Fry in small batches for even cooking.
