DEEP FRY FROZEN FRENCH FRIES RECIPES

Steps:

• Spray the basket with cooking oil.
• Put the French fries in the basket and cook on 400 degrees F (200 C) for 15 minutes, shaking the basket once or twice during cooking. If the fries are not as crispy as you like after 15 minutes, continue cooking in 2 minute increments until your preferred degree of crispiness.

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife or French fry cutter, cut the potatoes into 1/4 square strips.  Place them in a bowl of ice water.  Place in the refrigerator and allow to chill for at least 2 hours, up to 12 hours.
• Set up deep fryer according to manufacture's instructions and fill with peanut oil.  Preheat the deep fryer to 300.    
• Drain the water from the potatoes and pat them as dry as possible.  They will be very cold, maybe even frozen.   Place the potatoes in the basket.  It's okay if they are crowded for the first fry.   Submerge into the oil and deep fry for about 5-7 minutes until they are softened and slightly darker, but still pale.  Place on paper-towel lined baking sheet to drain.
• Increase heat in deep fryer to 360.  Fry the French fries a second time, this time in smaller batches so that they float freely in the oil.  Fry for only 2-4 minutes, or until they have reached desired level of brownness and crispness.  Drain on paper-towel lined baking sheets, and salt immediately.  Serve as soon as possible
