Description
Learn how to make crispy, golden crinkle cut fries with this simple and easy recipe. Perfectly seasoned with the right balance of crispiness and fluffiness inside.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 4 cups vegetable oil (or oil of your choice)
- 1–2 tsp salt (to taste)
- Optional seasonings: pepper, garlic powder, paprika, or cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Peel (optional) and wash the potatoes, then slice them into crinkle shapes using a crinkle cutter or knife.
- Soak the potato slices in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
- Heat the oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the crinkle cut potatoes in batches for 3-4 minutes or until golden and crispy.
- Remove the fries from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Season immediately with salt and any additional seasonings of your choice.
- Serve hot with dipping sauces like ketchup, mayonnaise, or aioli.
Notes
- Soaking the potatoes is crucial for getting extra crispiness.
- For even crispier fries, use the double-frying method: fry once, let cool, then fry again for 1-2 minutes.
- Feel free to experiment with different seasonings like Parmesan or truffle oil for added flavor.
