Homemade French Fries

HOMEMADE FRENCH FRIES

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 1/2 pounds Russet potatoes
  • oil for frying I use vegetable or peanut oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley optional

DIRECTIONS

  1. Cut the potatoes into matchsticks, either with a knife or with a french fry cutter. The potato pieces should all be similar in size.
  2. Place the potatoes in a bowl of cold water. Soak the potatoes for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Drain the water from the potatoes. Place the potatoes on a layer of paper towels and pat thoroughly with additional towels until dry.
  4. Pour 3 inches of oil into a large, deep pot. Heat the oil to 300 degrees F.
  5. Place about 1/3 of the potatoes in the pot, and cook until tender. This takes about 4-5 minutes. Repeat the process with the remaining potatoes.
  6. Increase the heat of the oil to 400 degrees F. Place 1/3 of the potatoes back in the pot and cook for an additional 1-3 minutes or until golden brown. Repeat the process with the remaining potatoes. Place the cooked potatoes on a sheet pan lined with paper towels.
  7. Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste over the fries. Add parsley if desired, then serve immediately.
