Homemade French Fries
- Russet Potatoes
- Peanut Oil
- about 1 TBSP flour (depending on how many you’re making)
- Salt to taste
Wash potatoes thoroughly. If you don’t like the peel you may peel them. I leave the peel on.
Cut potatoes into strips or you can cut them into rounds with a crinkle cutter for a round shape. I have done it both ways.
Place them in a big bowl of ice water for at least an hour.
Heat oil in a skillet to 325 degrees F. While oil is heating, drain potatoes and dry as thoroughly as possible.
Place potatoes into oil in batches so not to over crowd the skillet.
Fry for 3 minutes then remove and place on a paper towel lined cookie sheet. Continue frying all potatoes.
Let potatoes cool, or at this point, they can be frozen for future use.
When ready to finish cooking, sprinkle with just a little flour. Reheat the same oil to 360 to 375 degrees F and refry potatoes in batches as before this time till crisp and brown. Place on a paper towel lined cookie sheet, sprinkle with salt, and enjoy!
