To err is human, so let’s give Morgan Spurlock the boot & enjoy this Homemade French Fries recipe. These fries go great with my Blue Cheese & Jalapeno Hamburger recipe. Yummm. Enjoy & have a fantastic weekend!

Ingredients:

4-5 large russet potatoes
Peanut oil
S & P, to taste

What’s Next:

Go ahead & preheat oven to 200 F or 100 C.

In a large Dutch oven heat oil to 320 F or 150 C.

Peel potatoes and, EVENLY cut fries into 1/4″ x 1/4″ strips of equal length. Place in a large bowl of cold water as you’re slicing. Drain potatoes thoroughly, removing any excess water.

When oil reaches 320 degrees, submerge the potatoes in the oil. Working in small batches, fry for 2 to 3 minutes until they are pale and floppy. Remove from oil, drain, and cool to room temperature.

Increase the temperature of the oil to 375 F or 190 C.

Re-immerse fries and cook until crisp and golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove and drain on roasting rack. Season with salt & pepper. Once again this is done is small batches and will need to be kept warm in the oven until all potatoes are fried.

Eat well & Laugh often!

Have you ever tried “frying” french fries? Peal, cut and soak just as in your recipe. Then put them in a heavy frying pan with enough butter that they won’t stick to the bottom. Fry on medium heat for half an hour, turning occassionally until they start to get crispy and golden brown. Tastes super and not as much fat as deep frying.
