Deep Fried French Fries

Needed a recipe for some good crisp fries. Found this one on the internet.

• Ready In: 25 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 6  potatoes (large)
•  canola oil (for frying)

Directions

1. Bring large pot of salted water to boil.
2. Cut a potatoe into 1/4 inch thick slices and lengthwise into 1/4 inch wide sticks.
3. Cook in boiling water for 3 - 4 minutes.
4. Use slotted spoon and carefully remove to sheet pan with rack to drain. Repeat with remaining potatoes.
5. Leave potatoes to drain and dry. This step can be done up to 4 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.
6. Pour canola oil into heavy large pot or deep fryer to the depth of 4 inches.
7. Working in batches fry potatoes until golden, about 6 minutes.
8. Sprinkle with salt and pepper before serving.
9. Note: I put mine in an 300 oven to hold until the rest of dinner was ready and stayed crispy.
