This goes along with last week's In and Out Animal Style copycat burger post:
Ingredients:
- 4 large potatoes
- Salt
- Vegetable oil
Instructions:
1. Scrub the potatoes clean and peel them if desired.
2. Cut the potatoes into slices that are half an inch thick.
3. Soak the potato slices in a large bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes. This will help remove excess starch and make the fries crispy.
4. Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
5. Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C).
6. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
7. Coat the potato slices in vegetable oil and sprinkle with salt.
8. Arrange the potato slices on the baking sheet in a single layer.
9. Bake the fries for 20-25 minutes, flipping them over halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
10. Remove the fries from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Note: You can also deep-fry the French fries instead of baking them. Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 375°F (190°C) and fry the potato slices in batches until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Drain them on paper towels and sprinkle with salt before serving.
Tips I've learned along the way (aka trial and error... taking bits of recipes from one person and bits from another recipe to create the type of fry that I like best! They're about 1/2" thick in size, and seriously delicious)... I'm pretty proud :)
