Double Fried Potatoes
Serves 4 - 8
•
4 (4 to 5-inches long) russet potatoes (about 2 lbs.)
•
1 tablespoon fine-grain sea salt (to taste)
•
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1.
Peel potatoes. Cut into 1/3-inch slices and then slice into 1/3-inch sticks.
2. Soak potatoes in a large bowl of water, for at least 30 minutes, up to 24 hours.
This helps to remove excess starch from the potatoes and prevents them from oxidizing.
3. Preheat oil to 300ºF.
4. Remove potatoes from the water, and pat dry to remove excess water.
5. Add raw fries to the deep frying basket in batches, do not crowd. Lower raw potatoes into
preheated oil. Blanch until potatoes are light brown, 6 to 8 minutes.
6. Remove potatoes, gently shaking off excess oil and let drain on a rack or wire grate.
This allows all sides of the potatoes to dry.
7.
Repeat until all of the potatoes are par cooked.
8. Allow blanched potatoes to rest until cooled, at least 40 minutes.
9. Raise heat of oil to 350º F.
10. Double fry potatoes until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from oil,
shake off excess, toss fries onto brown paper bags.
11. Season warm potatoes with salt and pepper. Repeat until all potatoes are fried.
