Cut this recipe in half, otherwise made as posted . Nice to have fries that were not store bought. Nice aand crispy, and enjoyed as a side to lunch. Made for 1-2-3 hits -
As my husband said, "awesome fries." :-) I left the peels on, and fried them in a small pot in batches. I also drained them on a rack before serving. For ZWT6 family picks. -
Great fries. In addition to frying twice, I soaked them in water for 3 hours to remove the starch....this makes for a "crispier" fry. Made for ZWT6 for the Unrulies Under the Influence. -
LOVED these fries, the double fry method really makes a differance. Came out soft inside and crunchy out - YUM; The only think I did differant than directed is I did not peel the potatoes. These are wonderful and will be the way I prepare fries from now on. Made for ZWT #6

My Family and I moved to South Africa at the beginning of 2007 to be missionaries. My Husband is the Pastor of a church in Eden Park, a township in the Jo'burg area. We are having a great time. My kids love it (3 of them, 1 born here). We have got to do many exciting things( pet lion cubs, feed giraffes, eat Zebra(gross!)and other meats(Warthog was surprisingly the best, go figure) and swim on a beach with penguins, to name a few). I have always loved to bake but just got into cooking since moving over here. There were a lot of things I couldn't find over here(and still can't) that we were wanting so I started searching for good recipes for everything from sausage, salad dressing and root beer,to enchilada sauce, Macayo's baja sauce(posted), and Applebees hot wings!
A fellow missionary turned me on to this site and My husband got me a membership for this last birthday. I am loving it!
