French Fries

Who doesn't like French fries?  The sweet potato fries are really good and you cook them just the same as the Russet potatoes.  In fact, in the picture below I've cooked them together.

Recipe:

Russet or sweet potatoes, cut as desired

Ice water

Oil

Salt & pepper or House Seasoning

Cover cut potatoes with ice water and place in fridge until ready to fry. Heat oil to 325° and while it's heating take one batch of potatoes out of the ice water and place on a towel to dry off as much as possible. Put potatoes in hot oil, being careful not to add too many, and fry for 1-3 minutes until they are floppy. Remove to parchment or paper towel lined plate. Continue until all potatoes have been blanched. Place them in fridge or freezer to cool off. Heat oil to 375° and fry potatoes again until lightly browned 2-4 minutes. Drain and sprinkle with salt or house seasoning. Serve immediately or keep warm in oven until serving time.
