Equipment

  • Deep Dish
  • Bowl
  • Strainer

Ingredients

  • 4 Potatoes large
  • 1 tbsp salt to taste
  • oil for deep frying

Instructions

  • Chop the peeled potatoes. (uniformity is key)
  • Soak the potato in water for at least an hour. This will help reduce it's starchiness. (I prefer adding salt to the water for the potatoes to absorb them. This is optional)
  • Allow the strips to dry on a towel or kitchen tissues.
  • Deep fry the strips in a medium low flame until just cooked.
  • Use tissues to wipe off excess oil. Regridgerate the strips for at least one hour.
  • Deep fry the strips on a medium high flame until you have crispy fries. Season with salt.

Notes

This one is a kids favorite. It goes great by itself. But ooh it is better with southern fried chicken or crumb fried fish.
You can always improvise with extra seasoning in the end. Herb seasoning; Paprika; Cheese (melted).
Use ketchup or a mayo based dip for that extra flavor.
