Ingredients
  

Fries Preparation
  • 4 medium Russet potatoes Perfect for achieving the ideal fry texture.
  • 4 cups vegetable oil Essential for frying.
  • 2 tsp cayenne pepper Adjust according to your spice preference.
  • 1 tsp garlic powder For added flavor.

  • 2 green onions (chopped) For garnish.
  • 2 tbsp hot sauce Drizzled on top for heat.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash and peel the Russet potatoes.
  2. Cut the potatoes into even strips, about a quarter of an inch thick.
  3. Soak the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water for about 30 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Fry the soaked potatoes in batches until golden brown and crispy, approximately 5-7 minutes each.
  3. Remove the fries and let them drain on paper towels. Season with cayenne pepper and garlic powder while still hot.

Notes

Try double frying for extra crispiness and adjust spices to your liking. For a heartier meal, add grilled chicken or shrimp on top.
