Preparation: 20min.
Cooking: 8 to 12min.
Peel the potatoes. Square off four sides of each potato
and cut into 1 cm slices. Stack the slices 2 or 3 at a time
and cut into 1 cm sticks. Wash them in hot water and
rinse in cold water to get rid of any excess starch. Drain
thoroughly then tip into a clean tea towel and shake to
remove any retained water.
Heat the Deep Fryer to 180° C. Fill the basket two-thirds
full with French fries, lower into the oil and cook for
about 6 minutes. The fries should remain soft and white.
Drain, lifting the basket onto the hook.
After the fries are drained immerse the French fries in
the hot oil again for about 2 minutes until the oil stops
boiling, remembering to move them around during the
cooking. The French fries should be soft on the inside
and golden, crisp and slightly puffy on the outside.
Drain by lifting the basket onto the hook.
If the fries go cold, immerse them in the hot oil again for
1 minute before serving.
Serve piping hot, sprinkled with salt.
