Time 1h30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

5 large russet potatoes, peeled (or well scrubbed if leaving leaving the skin on)
1 quart peanut oil
kosher salt

Steps:

  • Cut the potatoes lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices, then cut each slice lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick fries. Put the fries in a large bowl of cold water and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours.
  • Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed medium stockpot over medium heat, or in a tabletop deep fryer, to 325°F Line a baking sheet with paper towels and set aside.
  • Drain the fries well and pat dry in batches with paper towels. Fry each batch, turning frequently, for 3 to 4 minutes or until the fries are a pale blond color and limp. Remove with a mesh skimmer to the baking sheet lined with paper towels.
  • Increase the heat of the oil to 375°F.
  • Fry the potatoes again, in batches, turning frequently, until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove with the skimmer and drain on clean paper towels. Season immediately with salt and serve hot.

The fries were a bit too spicy for my taste, but they were still good.

The fries were a bit too thick for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if they had been cut thinner.

The fries were a bit too limp for my liking. I think I would have liked them better if they had been cooked for a few minutes longer.

The fries were a bit too greasy for my liking. I think I would have liked them better if I had baked them instead of frying them.

The fries were a bit bland. I think I would have liked them better if I had added some salt and pepper.

The fries were soggy and not crispy at all. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

The fries were good, but I think I would have liked them better if I had used a different type of potato.
