Ingredients:
- 3 russet potatos
- 2 litres canola oil for frying
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions:
- Cut your potatoes into 1/4 inch thick match sticks. Place the cut potatoes into a bowl and cover with cold water. Let sit for 1 hour. This removes the starch and results in crispier fries.
- After the hour soak, remove potatoes from water and pat dry with paper towel.
- In a large pot or dutch oven, heat 3 inches of oil to 325F. Once temperature has been reached drop in the fries and cook for 5 minutes. This is the first cook which is softening the potatoes. Remove from oil and place on paper towel of wire rack. Immediately increase the temperature of the oil to 375F.
- Once the oil has reached 375F, drop the fries back in for their final cook. Fry for 5 minutes or until deep golden brown. Once done, remove from oil with a slotted spoon and place on paper towel or cooking rack. Season immediately with salt. Serve with ketchup!
