Number Of Ingredients 6

4 large Idaho potatoes, peeled
2 cups panko (coarse Japanese breadcrumbs)
1 cup cornflakes, crushed
Canola oil, for frying
2 large eggs, well beaten
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Using a vegetable peeler, peel and cut potatoes into 3 1/2-by-1/2-inch pieces. Transfer pieces to a large bowl. Run potatoes under cold water until the water runs clear, about 10 minutes. In a small bowl, combine panko and cornflakes; set aside.
  • In a deep pot, heat 3 inches oil over medium-high heat until it reaches between 280 degrees and 300 degrees on a deep-frying thermometer. Drain potatoes in a colander. Pat dry with a kitchen towel. Add potatoes to hot oil in batches and fry for 2 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Transfer to a freezer until well chilled. Remove chilled potatoes from freezer and coat with beaten eggs and then panko mixture.
  • Reheat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 360 degrees. Add potatoes in batches and fry until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on a clean paper towel-lined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

These fries were a little bit too greasy for my taste, but they were still pretty good.
