French Fries

Ingredients:
8 Idaho potatoes peeled
1/2 gallon peanut oil for frying
Salt

 

Directions:
Cut the french fries with mandoline or french fry cutter 1/4-inch strips. Heat the oil in the Dutch Oven until about 250 degrees (use a thermometer to gauge). Add the french fries and cook, stirring to avoid clumping together, about 3 minutes, until soft but not mushy. Remove with a mesh strainer and drain onto paper towels. Turn heat to high and heat oil to 350 degrees. At the last minute before serving plunge the fries into the oil and cook until golden brown. Remove from oil, drain onto towels and season with salt to taste.
