Home Fries
Ingredients
2 unpeeled medium sized oval shaped potatoes, e.g. Desiree or RussetVegetable oil for frying
freshly ground salt and black peppercorns
Stuff you will need
Cutting boardSharp knife
Paper towel
Slotted metal spoon to remove the fries from the hot oil
Directions
Cut the potatoes into French Fry shapes.Soak in cold water after they have been cut. Approximately 20 minutes.
Take the "fries" out of the water and dry them. They don't need to be perfectly dry, just dry enough that you are not introducing water to hot oil.
Heat the oil in a large saucepan or deep fryer to 350 F.
Cook the potatoes in two batches (take care not to over load the pan) in the hot oil for approximately 8 minutes.
Drain and cool on paper towel.
Just before serving, add the potatoes to the hot oil and fry for an extra 2- 3 minutes or until very golden and crisp.
Drain, and toss with plenty of freshly ground salt and black peppercorns and serve immediately.
