Submitted by bjd44535

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

 

• Ready In: 25mins
• Ingredients: 2
• 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.

I’ve been looking for a steak French fry recipe that combines two of our favorite places to get fries. This method worked! Boil clean whole potatoes for 20 minutes. Cool on paper towels for an hour. Cut into 8 wedges and deep fry at 375 degrees for 3:45 to 4:00 minutes. Turn onto paper towels and season with salt immediately. I added a fire rub that one of our places sent home with us. They are called Fire Fries. Basically a general bbq rub with cayenne. Da bomb. A keeper. Thanks.

These are good and easy to make. We don't eat french fries much but I was in the mood for some. I followed the recipe as written and we all enjoyed them. Made for Spring PAC 2011.
