Description

Just a simple recipe for crispy fries made with nothing but potatoes!

Ingredients
  • 1-3 Gold or Russet Potatoes
  • Neutral Oil
  • Salt (or seasoning of choice)
Instructions
  1. Wash potatoes and slice them into 1/4" or 1/8" sticks.
  2. Soak in water for at least 20-30 minutes. I always add a little salt to the water.
  3. Drain potatoes and spread out over a clean towel and let dry at least 5 minutes.
  4. In a pot or skillet add enough oil to cover the bottom by 1 1/2 inches or so, and heat to near 400 degrees.
  5. Add portions of your fries at a time and cook till slightly browning.
  6. Pull fries from oil and let sit a minute or two and let the oil heat back up.
  7. Add fries back to oil and finish cooking until golden brown and to your ideal crispiness.
  8. Remove from oil and add salt or seasoning to liking and repeat until all fries are cooked.
