Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Sharp chef's knife
- Heavy Bottom Pot
- Slotted spoon
- Paper towels
- Kitchen timer
- Cutting board
Ingredients
- 4 Large Russet Potatoes
- 2 Quarts Peanut Oil
- 1 Tbsp Sea Salt
- 3 Sprigs Fresh Rosemary
- 4 Cloves Garlic
- 1 Bowl Cold Water
- 1 Cup Ice Cubes
Instructions
- Wash and Peel: Start by washing your potatoes well. Peel them if you want smooth fries. You can leave skins on for rustic fries.
- Slice the Potatoes: Cut the potatoes into thin batons. Make sure they are the same size. This helps them cook at once.
- Soak in Cold Water: Put fries in a bowl of ice water. Let them sit for thirty minutes. This removes starch for extra crunch.
- Dry Thoroughly: Drain the water from the bowl. Pat the fries dry with a towel. Wet fries will cause oil to splatter.
- First Fry: Heat oil to a medium temperature. Fry the potatoes for five minutes. They should be soft but not brown.
- Drain and Cool: Remove the fries from the oil. Let them rest on paper towels. Cooling helps the inside set properly.
- Second Fry: Heat the oil to a higher temperature. Fry them again until they are golden. This creates the famous crispy crust.
- Season and Serve: Toss the hot fries with sea salt. Add herbs and garlic for extra flavor. Serve them while they are hot.
Notes
➔ Use old potatoes because they have less water.
➔ Dry every potato strip very well before frying.
➔ Do not crowd the pot with too many fries.
➔ Keep the oil temperature steady for even cooking.
➔ Salt the fries immediately after they leave oil.
➔ Use a thermometer to check the oil heat.
➔ Soak potatoes until the water stays clear.
➔ Cut fries into half-inch thick strips for texture.
