Ingredients
- 4 baking potatoes, russet
- salt to taste
- favorite seasonings
- vegetable oil 
 
A wonderfully flavored European version of the American French Fry.
 
Directions
  • With a mandoline or vegetable peeler, cut strips of unpeeled potato about 3-4 inches long
    and 1/2-inch to 1-inch wide. Immediately immerse the strips into a bowl of cold water until ready
    to fry.
  • Heat about 1 1/2 inches of oil in a large heavy saucepan. Oil is ready when it
    reaches a temperature of 375° F.
  • Drain strips of potatoes thoroughly and dry with
    a paper towel to remove any additional moisture.
  • Fry potatoes in small batches for
    approximately 5 minutes or until they begin to turn brown. Remove from oil, drain on paper towel,
    season to taste and allow to cool.
  • Once the potatoes have cooled, fry them once again in
    small batches for 1 to 2 minutes or until they become crisp and brown. Remove and drain on a paper
    towel. Lightly salt if desired, and serve immediately.
