Recipe for The Best French Fries Ever...Really! These twice-fried Belgian style frites are some of the most addictive French fries you'll ever eat. Try them and see.
Ingredients
- 4 medium to large russet potatoes, peeled and cut lengthwise into 1/2 inch wide sticks
- vegetable oil for frying
- salt or seasoning salt
Directions
- Pat potatoes dry with paper towels.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fat fryer (or heat about 1 1/2 to 2 inches of vegetable oil in a heavy, preferably cast iron, skillet). Use a deep fry thermometer and heat oil to 260°F. Working in batches so as not to crowd the potatoes, fry until tender, but not brown -- about 3 1/2 to 4 minutes. Remove potatoes to a wire rack or a paper towel lined plate to drain. Cool the potatoes completely before proceeding. You can prepare the fries to this point up to 4 hours before serving, keeping them at room temperature.
- Just before serving, reheat the oil to 375°F. Add the precooked potatoes to the hot oil, again in batches to avoid crowding, and cook until browned and crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer to wire rack or paper towel lined plate and immediately sprinkle with salt or seasoning salt. Serve hot!
