Time 1h25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 quarts peanut oil
4 pounds russet potatoes
Kosher salt
Everything bagel spice, for serving

Steps:

  • In a heavy bottomed pot, heat the oil to 325 degrees F.
  • Meanwhile, peel the potatoes and cut them into 1/2-inch-by-1/2-inch sticks. Rinse the starch off the fries by running them under cold water. Pour the fries onto a paper towel-lined baking sheet and pat dry.
  • Drop the fries into the oil in small batches. (You want 1 to 2 inches of oil above the potatoes, so don't overcrowd.) Parcook the potatoes until they're light golden brown and almost cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove to a baking sheet lined with paper towels or a baking sheet with a roasting rack on top for draining. Repeat until all the potatoes are cooked.
  • Rinse the blanched fries under cold water one more time, pouring them back onto a paper towel-lined baking sheet to dry. (If making the fries ahead of time, you can freeze the fries in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 1 hour. The frozen fries can also be stored in a resealable plastic bag in the freezer up to 1 month.)
  • Increase the temperature of the oil to 360 degrees F. When the oil is up to temp, carefully drop in 2 small handfuls of fries at a time to finish cooking them, allowing them to crisp up. This will take another 2 minutes and they will finish turning golden brown. Remove the fries from the oil to a medium bowl, seasoning well with salt and everything bagel spice immediately after they come out of the oil. Repeat with the remaining potatoes and serve immediately.

These fries were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

These fries were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

These fries were amazing! I'm so glad I found this recipe. They're the perfect side dish for any meal.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my fries didn't turn out as crispy as I would have liked. I think I'll try frying them at a higher temperature next time.

These fries were a bit too greasy for my liking. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of frying them.

I loved the idea of using everything bagel seasoning on fries, but I found that the flavor was a bit too strong for my taste. Next time, I'll use less seasoning or mix it with some other spices.

These fries were a hit! They're crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, with the perfect amount of seasoning. I loved the savory flavor of the bagel seasoning, and the fries held up well even after they cooled down.
