French Fries

One more thing to do with potatoes, french fries!

Ingredients:
Potatoes
Salt
Pepper
Canola Oil

1) Skin potatoes
2) Dice potatoes in to very thin strips
3) In a colander rinse potato strips thoroughly, until the water runs through them clear. It's important to remove the starch
4) Freeze overnight. If you dont have a freezer let them sit in water.
5) Deep fry in canola oil at 375 degree for about 10 minutes. You can use a pot on top of a stove for this but be careful not to get burned.
6) Salt and pepper immediately. For variation add garlic salt or Cayene pepper. Experiment!
7) Dont feed them to anyone else no matter how much they ask. You deserved this, you fat fuck.

This might take more time than running out to McDonalds but it's also pretty fucking awesome.

Wait, don't get them wet before you fry them! Adding water to hot oil causes it to sputter! This is exactly how i got my first deep-fryer burn!
