raw french fries
(Double Fry Method)
Cut medium potatoes, peeled if desired, into ¼ to ½ inch thick strips. Place into large bowl and cover with cold 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 frying. Thoroughly dry raw fries
before deep frying.
Fill the basket ½ rather than ¾ full.
Lower the filled basket slowly into the oil. If the oil starts to boil up too
quickly lift the basket out of the oil for a couple of seconds, then lower it again. Repeat as necessary until the basket is complete-
ly lowered into the fryer.
Fry at 375° 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.
