Ingredients
- Russet potatoes (figure 1 medium per person)
- Pinch of sea salt
- Oil for frying
- Grated parmesan (optional topping)
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
Instructions
- Handcut or use French fry cutter to cut raw potatoes into uniform size. Put into a bowl and cover with water and place in fridge overnight to soak.
- Strain the fries from the water and place on a baking sheet lined with paper towels and place back in fridge to dry out until ready to cook.
- Setup your deep fryer with preferred oil (I use peanut oil) and heat to 300º.
- Working in batches as to not overcrowd the fryer and drop the temperature by too much, fry the potatoes for 5-6 minutes.
- Once all the fries have been initially cooked, raise temperature of oil to 375º.
- Place fries back into oil and cook for 6 minutes or until preferred doneness.
- Drain and dump into large mixing bowl and sprinkle on sea salt and toss to coat.
- Sprinkle with parsley and serve
Hi Landyn, What deep fryer do you and Steve use?
Here you go! https://shopstyle.it/l/bo6OX
Try frying your fries in duck fat. So good!
Oh yes I’ll have to try that!
How much oil do you add to your air fryer?
We actually fried these in our actual fryer (not an air fryer) Enough oil to make sure your potatoes are covered. This is the fryer we love! https://shopstyle.it/l/bD4ql
