Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 4 cups Vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1.5 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Sriracha
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Fish sauce (optional)
• 0.25 cup Chopped roasted peanuts
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
• 2 stalks Green onions

Directions

Step 1

Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into evenly-sized fries, about 1/4-inch thick.

Step 2

Place the potato slices in cold water for 10 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry with a kitchen towel.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).

Step 4

Carefully fry the potato slices in batches for 3-5 minutes, or until they begin to turn light golden. Remove and let rest on a paper towel-lined tray.

Step 5

Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C) and fry the partially-cooked fries again for 2-4 minutes, or until crispy and deep golden brown. Drain on fresh paper towels and sprinkle with a pinch of salt while still hot.

Step 6

For the sauce, finely mince the garlic. In a small mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, sriracha, garlic, and fish sauce (if using). Whisk together until the sugar dissolves.

Step 7

Drizzle the Thai sauce over the hot fries, tossing gently to coat them evenly.

Step 8

Finely chop the cilantro and green onions. Sprinkle them over the fries along with the roasted peanuts for garnish.

Step 9

Serve immediately, either as a side or standalone snack, and enjoy your Thai-inspired fries!
