Print Recipe

This recipe delivers crispy, extra thick steak fries with a fluffy interior and perfect crunch using a double-fry method and a special seasoning blend. Ideal for a salty snack or a side that steals the show.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large Russet potatoes (about 2 lbs / 900 g)
  • About 4 cups (1 liter) vegetable oil (canola or peanut oil preferred)
  • Sea salt to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Cold water (for soaking)

Instructions

  1. Wash and scrub 4 large russet potatoes thoroughly. Leave the skin on or peel if preferred. Cut each potato lengthwise into extra thick fries about ¾ inch (2 cm) wide.
  2. Place the cut fries into a large bowl of cold water and soak for 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry thoroughly with towels.
  3. Heat about 4 cups (1 liter) of vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to 325°F (160°C). Fry fries in batches for 5-6 minutes without browning. Remove and drain on a wire rack over a baking sheet.
  4. Let fries cool at room temperature or refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to set the crust.
  5. Increase oil temperature to 375°F (190°C). Fry the blanched fries again in batches for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Drain on wire rack.
  6. Immediately season fries with sea salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and freshly ground black pepper. Toss gently to coat evenly while hot.
  7. Serve hot immediately or keep warm in a low oven (200°F / 90°C) for up to 15 minutes.

Notes

Keep oil temperature steady using a thermometer to avoid greasy or burnt fries. Dry potatoes thoroughly after soaking to prevent splattering and sogginess. Fry in small batches to maintain oil temperature. Season fries immediately while hot for best flavor adherence.
