Ingredints
A large deep pot, 2-3 potatoes per batch of fries, Enough peanut oil to cover potatoes slices, Coarse salt for sprinkling.
How to prepare
Cut the tops and bottoms off the potatoes so you can stand them up and slice them lengthwise.
Slice the potatoes into the thickness you want your fries to be.Cut the potato slices into fries.
Fill a large pot or bowl with cold water and submerge the fries. This rinses off any excess starch and helps them crisp up to golden-brown without getting soggy.
Drain the fries in a colander until water stops dripping, then transfer to a clean dishtowel.
Gather up the edges of the dishtowel to make a bundle, twisting the top.
Insert the handle of your wooden spoon into the twisted top of the potato bundle and use it to squeeze the water out of the potatoes as tightly as you can. Repeat until potatoes are very dry, using another dry dishtowel if necessary.
Heat oil to 375 degrees. Gently lower the fries in using a skimmer or spider, then leave them be for about 10 minutes, no touching. Do this in batches so you don't overcrowd the pot, or the fries will never finish cooking.
Continue to fry until bottoms of the fries begin to turn golden brown, then flip to cook the other side. Fry for another 10-15 minutes or until fries are finished, keeping a close eye on them so they don't burn.
Remove fries from oil using a skimmer or spider and transfer to a plate lined with a thick layer of paper towels. Sprinkle with coarse salt and serve hot.
