French Fried Potatoes Recipe

How to make it

---

• Take the potatoes,peel and cut lengthwise into sections about 1/2 inch thick.
• Dry,by rubbing in kitchen towel.
• Do not soak the potatoes in ice water or salted ice water.
• Doing this only makes the potatoes absorb more water and in turn makes them absorb grease too readily when cooked.
• Heat your beef grease to about 400 degrees.
• Beef grease makes the fries crisp and flaky.
• Do not use Lard or Shortening.
• Place the potatoes in the french fry basket,and put them down in the grease.
• Leave the potatoes until they are cooked and have a thin crisp skin formed on them(not all the way done)not a brown skin just a thin pale colored skin.
• This takes about 7 to 10 minutes.
• Remove them from the grease and let them drain,for about 2 to 4 minutes,until the grease is up to around 400 degrees again.
• Place the potatoes back in and leave them in until slightly brown.
• Shake a bit as the brown.
• This takes about 1-1/2 minutes.
• Take them out and let them drain on paper towel ,place over a brown paper bag.
• Sprinkle lightly with powdered mustard.
