 Step 1 : Cooking Materials

•     Potatoes - 1 per person is more than enough!
•     1qt/ltr cooking oil - peanut oil is best
•     Seasonings - I just used salt, but this is where you can get creative!
•     Knife for cutting
•     Colander for rinsing
•     Pot for frying

Step 2: Cut Potatoes

• Scrub the potatoes well.
• Cut potatoes into 1/4" fry shapes.
• Rinse cut potatoes in a large bowl with lots of cold running water and cover with water by and ice. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes.

Step 3: Heat Oil
 

• In a large pan (or an electric deep fryer), heat oil over medium-low heat.
• If you have a candy thermometer (recommended), heat until the thermometer registers  (165 C).
• Make sure that you have at least 2 inches of space between the top of the oil and the top of the pan, as the oil will bubble up and could splatter when the fries are added.

Step 4: First Fry

•  Drain ice water from cut fries and wrap potatos in a clean tea towel and thoroughly pat dry.
• Increase the heat to medium-high and add fries, a handful at a time, to the hot oil.
• Fry, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are soft and limp, about 8 minutes.
• Using a slotted spoon or sieve, carefully remove fries from the oil and set aside to drain on paper towels.
• Let rest for 10 - 15 minutes or so.

Step 5: Second Fry

•  When ready to serve the French fries, reheat the oil to  175 C.

• Transfer the potatoes to the hot oil and fry again, stirring frequently, until you like the way they look, 1-5 minutes. I like em almost burnt, so I left them in pretty long.
• Transfer to paper towels again and sprinkle with seasoning to taste. Serve immediately.
