Deep Frying Recipes

Homemade French Fries
Peel 4 medium baking potatoes, if desired, and cut into ¼- to ½-inch thick strips. Place into large bowl and cover with hot tap
water. Soak potato strips for 15 minutes or until ready to fry. Rinse, drain, and pat dry with paper towels.
Because uncooked potatoes contain a high percentage of moisture, extreme care must be used when deep frying. Thoroughly
dry potato strips before deep frying. Fill the basket ½ rather than ⅔ full. Slowly lower the filled basket into the oil. Do not
use cover.
Fry at 350° for 3 to 4 minutes until fries are cooked through but not browned. Drain; let stand to cool for at least 10 minutes,
but not more than 2 hours. Just before serving, fry potatoes at 375° for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.
