Raw French Fries (Double Fry Method)
Cut medium potatoes, peeled if desired, into ¼- to ½-inch thick strips. Place into large bowl and cover with hot tap water. Soak potato
strips for 15 minutes or until ready to fry. Rinse, drain, and pat dry with paper towels. Because raw fries contain a high percentage of
moisture, extreme care must be used when placing them into hot oil. Thoroughly dry raw fries before deep frying.
For raw fries, ll the basket ½ rather than ¾ full.Lowerthelledbasketslowlyintotheoil.Iftheoilstartstoboiluptooquickly
lift the basket out of the oil for a couple of seconds, then lower it again. Repeat as necessary until the basket is completely lowered into
the fryer.
Fry for 3 to 4 minutes until fries are cooked through but not browned. Drain; let stand to cool for at least 10 minutes, but not more than
2 hours. Just before serving, fry potatoes for 7 to 8 minutes or until golden brown.
