French Fries

These french fries are simply the best. Why? Because they just are!

• Ready In: 40 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 2  lbs baking potatoes, cut into 1/2 inch thick, cubed strips
•  canola oil (for frying)
•  seasoning salt

Directions

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
2. Blanch (boil) the potato strips in the water for 2 minutes.
3. Remove the potato strips from the water and set aside.
4. Meanwhile, heat about 2 inches of oil in a wok or a very VERY large saucepan to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
5. CAUTION: Do not fill your pan even close to the top; your oil will expand during cooking and will catch fire if it pours out.
6. Fry the potato strips, in small batches, for about 5 minutes or until golden brown.
7. Drain on paper towels.
8. Sprinkle with the seasoning salt as soon as they come out of the oil.
9. Cooking Tip: You can keep your cooked batches of fries hot while you are still frying the others by putting them in a preheated 250 degree Fahrenheit oven.
