Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3 lbs potatoes (recommend Yukon Gold)
  • 3 cups peanut oil
  • Kosher salt (to taste)

Instruction

  • Wash and dry the potatoes.
  • Cut the potatoes lengthwise into slabs approximately 1/4 inch thick. Then, cut the slabs into 1/4 inch strips. Make sure the fries are the same size so they will cook in the same amount of time.
  • Pour 3 cups of peanut oil into a heavy-duty cast-iron pan or Dutch oven. The oil should be 1/2 inch deep. If it is not, add additional oil.
  • Add the potatoes to the cold oil and turn the heat to medium-high.
  • Cook the fries for 15 minutes without stirring.
  • Stir the fries. Cook them an additional 5 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fries and place on a wire rack to drain. Season with salt to taste and serve immediately.
