Notes
Fries
While you can absolutely deep fry your own, you can also used baked fries, or take-out fries instead! To make your own French fries you’ll need:
- 2 medium potatoes
- Oil for deep-frying
- Salt, to taste
- Wash and cut the potatoes into thin or slightly thicker French fries. Soak in cold water until ready to fry.
- In a heavy bottomed pot, heat cooking oil to about 350°F (180°C).
- Remove potatoes from cold water, and pat dry.
- In batches, carefully fry the potatoes in the hot oil until golden, crispy, and cooked throughout. This will take about 5 to 7 minutes depending on the thickness of the fries.
- Remove from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate. Season the hot fries with salt to taste and set aside until ready to use.
