French Fries | |
Ingredients: |
6 Idaho russet potatoes Peanut oil Sea salt |
Directions |
Peel and square off potato ends. Cut into 3/8" batons. Soak for two hours, changing water after an hour. Dry thoroughly with paper towels. Heat about an inch of oil (or enough to cover potatoes) in a large, heavy bottomed pot to 290 degrees. Blanch potatoes gently for about two minutes until cooked through but still completely pale. Place on a paper-towel lined sheet pan and cool in the refrigerator to stop cooking process. Re-heat oil to 370 degrees. Cook fries until golden and crispy, about 3 to 4 minutes. If necessary, agitate gently with a spatula to prevent sticking. Remove from pan and toss with salt to taste. Serve immediately. |
