Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Slice the potatoes into ½ inch thick sticks. Using a French fry cutter makes this much easier.
* Step 2
Soak the potato slices in cold water for a minimum of one hour, and up to overnight. The longer, the better as this process removes the starch which makes for extra crispy fries.
* Step 3
Rinse the fries twice with cold water.
* Step 4
Lay the fries on paper towels or a clean dishcloth and pat them as dry as possible.
* Step 5
Heat oil in a deep fryer or dutch oven to 300 degrees F. You’ll need to fry in about six batches, begin with a quart of oil and add more as needed. Frying too many at once makes them less crispy.
* Step 6
Use a slotted spoon to add the potatoes to the oil and fry for about 5-6 minutes. The oil should bubble lightly, we’re only heating the potatoes, we don’t want them to crisp yet.
* Step 7
Place the cooked potatoes on a paper towel lined plate and fry the rest of the remaining batches.
* Step 8
Increase the heat to 400 degrees F and fry each batch a second time until they are crisp and golden-brown, about 5 minutes or so.
* Step 9
Remove them and place them on dry paper towels. Sprinkle with salt as soon as they come out.
* Step 10
Serve with ketchup or fry sauce and enjoy!
