Ingredients

• 3 large potatoes
• 3 cups oil for frying
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ teaspoon paprika or red chili powder (optional)

Step By Step Instructions

Wash and peel the potatoes.
Cut the potatoes into long thin strips similar to classic French fries.
Rinse the cut potatoes in cold water to remove extra starch.
Pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel. Removing moisture helps fries become crispier.
Heat oil in a deep pan on medium heat.
Add the potato strips in batches and fry them for about four to five minutes until they become slightly soft but not brown.
Remove them from the oil and allow them to rest for a few minutes.
Heat the oil again on high heat and fry the potatoes a second time until they turn golden and crispy.
Remove the fries and place them on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
Sprinkle salt, black pepper, and paprika while they are still hot.
