PERFECT FRENCH FRIES
Steps:
- Rinse cut potatoes in a large bowl with lots of cold running water until water becomes clear. Cover with water by 1-inch and cover with ice. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes and up to 1 day.
- Heat the oil in a deep-fryer to 325 degrees F. Be sure not to fill the oil beyond the maximum fill line.
- Drain ice water from cut fries and wrap potato pieces in a clean dishcloth or tea towel and thoroughly pat dry. Add fries, a handful at a time, to the hot oil. Fry, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are soft and limp and begin to turn a blond color, about 6 to 8 minutes. Use the basket to carefully remove fries from the oil and set aside to drain on paper towels. Let rest for at least 10 minutes or up to 2 hours.
- When ready to serve the French fries, reheat the oil to 350 degrees F. Transfer the blanched potatoes to the hot oil and fry again, stirring frequently, until golden brown and puffed, about 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel lined platter and sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Instructions 1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. 2. Pat the potatoes dry and cut them lengthwise into 1⁄2-inch-thick slices. Turn each side flat and slice again lengthwise into even 1⁄2-inch-thick fries. Place the potatoes in a mixing bowl and add the olive oil, Essence, and 1⁄4 teaspoon of the salt. Toss well to combine. Then transfer the fries to a large baking sheet and arrange them in one even layer so that they are not touching. Roast, scraping the potatoes from the baking sheet with a metal spatula and turning them over halfway through, until golden brown and crispy, 30 minutes. 3. While the potatoes are cooking, combine the cheese, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and the remaining 1⁄2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl and stir to blend. 4. When the potatoes are crisp and brown, remove them from the oven and transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle the potatoes with the Paprika-Parmesan Salt, and serve hot. Yield: 4 to 6 servings
Tips:
- Use Yukon Gold potatoes for the best flavor and texture. They have a higher starch content than other varieties, which makes them extra crispy when fried.
- 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.
- Cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces so that they cook evenly.
- Use a deep fryer or a large pot filled with oil to fry the potatoes. The oil should be at least 3 inches deep and heated to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Fry the potatoes in batches so that they don't overcrowd the pot or fryer. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from sticking together.
- Cook the potatoes until they are golden brown and crispy. This will take about 3-4 minutes per batch.
- Drain the potatoes on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Season the potatoes with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices.
- Serve the potatoes immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
