Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

6 russet potatoes, about 2 pounds
8 cups corn, peanut or vegetable oil
Salt to taste if desired

Steps:

  • Peel the potatoes and cut each into 1/4-inch thick slices. Stack a few slices at a time and cut the slices lengthwise into 1/4-inch-wide strips or sticks. There should be about 6 cups. Drop the potatoes into cold water and drain almost immediately. Pat the potatoes dry.
  • Heat the oil to 330 degrees in a skillet or, preferably, a deep fryer. Drop potatoes in batches into hot oil. As the potatoes are fried, shake or stir them so that they cook evenly. Let cook 10 minutes without browning. This might be done an hour or more ahead of time. Remove the potatoes from the oil and let drain.
  • Increase the oil temperature to 375 degrees. Return the potatoes to the oil and let cook until crisp and brown, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Remove the potatoes and drain on absorbent paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and serve.

These fries are a healthier alternative to traditional french fries. They're baked instead of fried, so they have less fat and calories.
