Ingredients

2 hours 5 mins
6 servings
  1. French fries
  2. 6Medium potatoes
  3. 1cooking oil
  4. 1salt
  5. 1Ketchup and mayonnaise

Cooking Instructions

2 hours 5 mins
  1. 1

    Peel the potatoes

  2. 2

    Cut the potatoes into quarter inch strips to look like French fries. You can cut them in the length and size you prefer.

  3. 3

    1/4" strips

  4. 4

    Put the potatoes in cold water and let them sit for 2 hours. Changing the water after 1 hour. This step is critical because it gets the starch out of the potato. It makes for great French fries.

  5. 5

    After 2 Hours drain the French fries and dry them with a cloth.

  6. 6

    Heat the cooking oil to 275°F.

  7. 7

    Cook the fries in batches for 2-3 minutes or until they start to turn white. Don't over cook them. Take out of the pan and place on a paper towel lined cookie sheet and put into the freezer to cool off and stop the cooking. About 5 to 7 minutes.

  8. 8

    After they have cooled down take the fries out of the freezer and heat oil to 375°F.

  9. 9

    Once the oil is heated cook the fries until golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes. Right after they are taken out of the oil salt to taste.
