recipes
Cut medium potatoes, peeled if desired, 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 raw fries contain a high percentage of moisture extreme care must be used when deep fry-
ing. Thoroughly dry raw fries before deep frying Fill the baskets ½ rather than ¾ full. Lower the
filled baskets slowly into the oil. If the oil starts to boil up too quickly lift the baskets out of the oil
for a couple of seconds, then lower them gain. Repeat as necessary until the baskets are completely
lowered into the fryer.
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.
