Who doesn't love fries? Most of us love those thin and crispy fries from restaurants. Why not make them homemade at home? Making your own fries are so easy.
Shoestring Potatoes
2 large long potatoes, peeled
Sea Salt or Seasoned Salt
Oil for frying
Peel potatoes (Yukon Gold are very good) and slice them as thinly as possible. Drop them by handfuls into hot oil. Be sure not to overcrowd the fryer so, fry them in bunches.
The key to great homemade fries is to make sure your oil is hot enough. Bring the oil up to at least 375 degrees and don't drop the fries in until you are sure it is hot. I usually test 1 fry first.
Fry for about 8 minutes per batch, more or less. Turn them gently at least once and as soon as they start getting brown and crispy remove from the oil and drain on a paper towel. If you like a crispier fry, you can drain them on a paper towel and then once the heat of the oil comes back up to temperature, drop them quickly in the oil again, just for a few minutes. They will crisp up.
Sprinkle with Sea Salt or Seasoned Salt as soon as they come out of the fryer.
If you like a really, really crispy fry, before frying, dip them in milk and then in some flour. They will have a light and crispy breading on them.
Enjoy!
