Yield: 4 people
Calories: 179kcal
Equipment
- 1 deep fry thermometor
Materials
- 2 lbs baking potatoes about 3 - 4 potatoes
- 1 liter vegetable or canola oil
- salt or other seasoning we like Lowry's Seasoning Salt
Instructions
- Cut potatoes into ¼ - ½ inch thick sticks. Place the cut potatoes in a large glass bowl and fill with water. Swoosh the potatoes around in the water, and holding onto the potatoes drain the water (the water should be cloudy from the starch).
- Refill the bowl with fresh cold water so the potatoes are covered. Soak for at least one hour, or refrigerated overnight (the longer the better).
- When you're ready to make, drain the water and put the potato slices on a clean dish towel. Pat as dry as possible.
- Heat your oil in a deep fryer or dutch oven until the temperature reached 300℉. Separate your potatoes into 3 - 4 batches (you don't want to fry them all at once and crowd the pot).
- Remove from the oil and place on a paper towel lined plate. Fry the remaining batches.
- Fry #2. Increase the heat so the oil reaches 400℉. Fry each batch until they are crispy and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove and place on a paper-towel lined plate or a drying rack.
- Place the hot fries in a bowl and toss in salt, Lowry's, or other seasoning. Allow to cool for 10 minutes.
