Homemade French Fries
Ingredients
- 4-6 Russet Potatoes
- Vegetable Oil
Instructions
- Preheat oil in a deep fryer to 350°F.
- Peel potatoes to remove all of the skin. Then, rinse under cold water to remove any dirt or excess starch.
- Next, slice potatoes long ways into french fry shaped stripes (about 1/4 inch thick).
- Place “fries” into cooking basket of deep fryer.
- Slowly lower the basket into the hot oil.
- Cook until golden brown in color.
- Remove fries from the oil, transfer to a baking sheet lined with paper towels. The paper towels will help to absorb any excess oil.
- Sprinkle with a delicious seasoning salt like the one featured below and enjoy!

I told you making homemade french fries and seasoning salt was simple! A countertop deep fryer has been one of my families best investments for the kitchen. I feel a lot safer using a small appliance dedicated to frying versus using a large pot to deep fry food on the stovetop.
Don’t forget to invest in a good potato peeler!
Having a good peeler in your kitchen drawer is key to great meals using potatoes. You can either use a manual peeler, which allows you to peel the potatoes by hand, or an electric peeler that will peel potatoes more quickly.
