Ingredients

  • 5-6 large russet potatoes or scale up or down- 1 potato per person +1

Instructions

  • Brush and clean potatoes. At this point you could peal them, my family prefers the skin left on.
  • Use a mandolin to cut your potatoes into the desired fry shape.
  • Soak potatoes in cold water for 1-3 hours. This helps draw the starch to the surface.
  • Pre-heat oven to 350DegreesF.
  • Cover baking sheets with parchment paper and roast fries for 45 minutes or until the fries are cooked through.
  • Pre-heat vegetable or peanut oil to 400Degrees
  • Fry potatoes for 3-4 minutes in small batches until golden brown. Remove to paper towel and salt immediately.
  • Serve hot and fresh.
  • Allow oil to return to temperature before frying next batch of potatoes.
