Best ever French Fries!
- 1 large russet potato or 2 medium potatoes. per person per serving
- 1 oil for frying approximately 2"deep. We like vegetable oil.
- 1 salt
- 1 large deep pan/pot (a wok works well)
- 1 slotted spoon or tongs
- 1 lots of paper towles
- 1 large heat proof (glass or metal) bowl
- 1 mandolin or knife to cut potatoes
- 1 colander to rinse potatoes
- Fill a pan 2" (inches) deep with oil and set on the stove.
- Put some paper towels in a heat proof bowl.
- Make sure you have a large slotted spoon handy (or tongs) to fish the fries out of the oil with.
- Lay out some lint free dish cloths or lots of paper towles.
- You'll need them to dry your cut/rinsed potatoes.
- Pick out some good looking blemish free taters or just cut off any ugly spots
- Wash the dirt off of them.
- Using a mandolin or knife cut into french fries.
- We leave the skin on.
- Rinse cut potatoes.
- Dry cut potatoes
- Heat your oil, (Which should already be in a pan on the stove) over Medium to Medium High heat, to about 325-340AF
- Once oil is hot add potatoes in one to two handfuls at a time.
- BE CAREFUL!!!
- If your potatoes are not super dry they WILL splatter HOT oil everywhere!
- Keep moving them around in the oil for 3 minutes or until the start to blister.
- Then remove them to your paper towel lined bowl.
- They are not ready to eat yet.
- Sorry
- After all of your fries have been cooked to this point.
- Remove oil from heat and let fries cool COMPLETELY.
- After they have cooled heat up your oil again.
- Add fries back into hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy!
- Using same bowl discard used paper towels and add new ones.
- When fries are cooked put them in bowl sprinkle salt over hot fries and toss them to get salt on all of the fries.
- Enjoy!
