DOUBLE-FRIED FRENCH FRIES
Steps:
- Peel potatoes on the sides, leaving the ends with the skin on. Cut the potatoes into 1/3-inch slices and then slice into 1/3-inch sticks.
- Fill a large bowl with water and soak potatoes, submerged, for at least 30 minutes up to 24 hours. This will help remove the excess starch from the potatoes and keep them from oxidizing.
- Heat a heavy stock pot fitted with a deep-fry thermometer with oil to 325 degrees F.
- Remove potatoes from the water, and pat dry to remove excess water. Add 2 handfuls of potatoes to hot oil. There should be at least 1-inch of oil above the potatoes. Par cook until potatoes are light brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove potatoes, gently shaking off excess oil and let drain on rack. Repeat until all of the potatoes are par cooked.
- Raise heat of oil to 350 degrees F.
- Cook potatoes again, 2 handfuls at a time, until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Remove from oil, shake off excess oil, and season lightly in a bowl with salt and pepper. Repeat until all potatoes are cooked.

GREATEST CHIPS (FRENCH FRIES) ON EARTH
I saw this technique in the series Kitchen Chemistry by Heston Blumenthal and thought I'd share it here. Obviously the quantities don't matter just do as many as you want. You'll need a thermometer to do this recipe properly, but for the pre-cook you can just use a meat thermometer and could probably get away with guessing the warm versus hot oil temperature. I personally used bran oil but I think peanut oil would be another good choice but nothing wrong with just using regular vegetable oil either. I used a wok, Chinese scoop and infrared thermometer for the deep frying which is a neat way to deep fry using the more expensive oils because you need less oil in total and don't feel so bad using fresh oil every time. Anyway back to the recipe, the title came from the series and after trying them I think I'd have to agree with Heston. Not as much effort as it sounds and really worthwhile.

Steps:
- Fill a saucepan with plenty of water and bring up the water temperature to 62C (145F).
- I found on my electric stove top that medium was a good temperature to start with and as it approached dropping back to low held it there.
- Peel potato and cut into chips (French Fries). I think around 12mm (1/2") across is a good size, the recipe wouldn't be well suited to thin ones.
- Pre-cook in water at 62°C (145°F) for 30 minutes, drain well and allow to cool to room temperature (takes around 15 minutes).
- Deep-fry in warm oil at 130°C (265°F) for 5 minutes, drain and allow to cool to room temperature (takes around 15 minutes).
- Deep-fry in hot oil at 190°C (375°F) until golden and done to your liking, around 5 minutes. If doing a lot of chips either cook in small batches or crank up the burner if using a wok when adding so the temperature of the oil doesn't drop too much.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality potatoes for the best flavor and texture.
- Cut the potatoes into evenly sized pieces so that they cook evenly.
- Soak the potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes before frying. This will help to remove excess starch and prevent the fries from sticking together.
- Dry the potatoes thoroughly before frying. This will help them to crisp up.
- Fry the potatoes in hot oil. The ideal temperature for frying is between 325°F and 350°F.
- Cook the potatoes in small batches so that they don't overcrowd the fryer. This will help them to cook evenly.
- Season the fries with salt and pepper immediately after they come out of the fryer. This will help the seasoning to stick.
- Serve the fries hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
