Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 pounds russet (baking) potatoes (5 or 6)
4 to 6 cups vegetable oil for deep-frying
Salt
Accompaniments:
Sour Cream and Onion Dip , Saffron Mayonnaise , Ginger-Sesame Sauce , Roasted Red Pepper-Walnut Dip , and/or Chipotle-Tomatillo Sauce
Special Equipment
A 5- to 6-quart pot; a deep-fat thermometer

Steps:

  • Peel potatoes, then cut lengthwise into 1/3-inch-thick sticks, submerging in a large bowl of ice water. Rinse potatoes in several changes of cold water in bowl (more ice isn't necessary) until water is clear. Drain in a large colander.
  • Spread potatoes out in a single layer on several layers of kitchen towels to drain, then pat dry.
  • While potatoes are being rinsed and dried, heat 2 inches oil slowly in a 5- to 6-quart pot over medium-low heat until thermometer registers 300°F.
  • When oil is ready, increase heat to high and fry potatoes in four batches, stirring occasionally, until just cooked through but still white, about 3 minutes. (Adjust heat to keep oil as close to 300°F as possible and return oil to 300°F between batches.) Transfer fried potatoes with a slotted spoon to a baking sheet lined with dry towels to drain. When all potatoes are fried once, cool potatoes to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
  • Reheat oil over medium-high heat until thermometer registers 375°F. Fry potatoes again in four batches, stirring, and adjusting heat to keep oil as close to 375°F as possible, until deep golden, 3 to 4 minutes. (Return oil to 375°F between batches.) Transfer with slotted spoon to dry towels to drain briefly, then season with salt and serve immediately, with sauce(s) for dipping.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my fries turned out soggy. I'll have to try again.

I'm not a fan of the seasoning on these fries. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

The fries were delicious! I used russet potatoes, and they turned out perfectly. The dipping sauces were also great, especially the ketchup and the ranch dressing.

These homemade fries were a hit with my family! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, just like the ones from my favorite restaurant. The dipping sauces were also delicious, especially the garlic aioli. Will definitely be making t
