Ingredients

  • oil for frying
  • salt to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Prepare your potatoes, and place them in a container of cold water to soak for at least 30 minutes, which helps remove excess starch.
  2. After they've soaked, stir the potatoes in the water to further remove starch, then strain and rinse thoroughly with cold water for 3-4 minutes. Allow the potatoes to drain and use a paper towel to pat dry any excess water.
  3. Preheat oil in a deep-fryer or a large pot to 300°F.
  4. Fry a few handfuls of potatoes in the hot oil for 3 minutes, stirring halfway through. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding.
  5. Remove the fries from the oil and let them rest on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper.
  6. Increase the oil temperature to 350°F.
  7. Refry the potatoes in batches for 5-6 minutes until crispy and browned on the edges. For extra crispiness, fry for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  8. Drain the fries briefly, then toss with salt in a bowl and serve immediately.
  9. DEVOUR!
