You Need This Stuff

  • 2 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch sticks
  • 4 cups vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/4 tsp dried rosemary, crushed

Do This With That Stuff

  1. Wash and peel 2 lbs russet potatoes
  2. Cut the potatoes into 1/4-inch sticks
  3. Place the potato sticks in a large bowl and cover with cold water, letting them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch
  4. In a deep fryer or large heavy pot, heat 4 cups vegetable oil to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C)
  5. Drain the potato sticks and pat them dry with paper towels, ensuring they are completely dry to avoid oil splatters during frying
  6. Carefully lower the potato sticks into the hot oil in batches, using a slotted spoon or spider skimmer, and fry for 5-6 minutes until they are cooked through but not yet browned
  7. Remove the potato sticks from the oil using a slotted spoon or spider skimmer and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil
  8. Allow the oil to return to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C) before frying the next batch of potato sticks
  9. Once all batches have been fried once, increase the oil temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C)
  10. Fry the potato sticks again in batches for an additional 2-3 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy
  11. Remove the finished fries from the oil using a slotted spoon or spider skimmer and place them on a fresh paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil
  12. In a medium bowl, combine 1 tsp sea salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp paprika, 1/4 tsp dried thyme, and 1/4 tsp dried rosemary crushed
  13. Toss the hot fries with the seasoning mixture until evenly coated
  14. Serve immediately

The secret behind these savory Pommes Frites lies in the ingredients. We’re using 2 lbs of russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch sticks. These starchy potatoes are perfect for achieving that crispy exterior and fluffy interior we all crave in our Belgian fries recipe. The seasoning blend consists of sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried thyme, and crushed dried rosemary – a mouthwatering combination that elevates these homemade double-fried potatoes to new heights.

Now let’s dive into the instructions for this crispy seasoned potato sticks recipe! Start by washing and peeling your russet potatoes before cutting them into 1/4-inch sticks. Soak the potato sticks in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch – this is key for achieving maximum crispiness! Next, heat 4 cups of vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large heavy pot to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C). Drain the potato sticks and pat them dry with paper towels before carefully frying them in batches until cooked through but not yet browned. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

Once all batches have been fried once, increase the oil temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and fry the potato sticks again until they are golden brown and crispy. This double frying technique is what gives these Belgian-style fries their irresistible crunch! Finally, toss the hot fries with the seasoning mixture until evenly coated and serve immediately.
