Copyright, 1999, Matthew Tivy. All rights reserved. Ingredients: 8 baking potatoes (such as russets), peeled
1/2 gallon peanut oil, neutral flavor, for frying
Salt to taste Preparation: Cut potatoes with a mandoline or French fry cutter into 1/4" strips. Heat peanut oil in a saucepan or stockpot (at least 2-gallon capacity) to 250 degrees (use a thermometer to gauge). Add the potatoes 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 fries into the oil and cook until golden brown. Remove from oil, drain onto towels and season with salt to taste. Servings: 8 to 10 Chef's Note: Be careful with your hands when placing the potatoes in the hot oil. If you place too many potatoes in the pan and the oil rises, just remove some potatoes.
