Easier French Fries
Serves 3 To 4
Ingredients
2-1⁄2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, dried, sides squared off, and cut lengthwise into 1⁄4-inch-thick fries
6 cups peanut oil
4 tablespoons bacon fat, strained (optional)
Kosher salt
Instructions
- Set wire rack in rimmed baking sheet, line rack with triple layer of paper towels, and set aside. Combine potatoes, oil, and bacon fat, if using, in Dutch oven. Cook over high heat until oil has reached rolling boil, about 5 minutes. Continue to cook, without stirring, until potatoes are limp but exteriors are beginning to firm, about 15 minutes.
- Using tongs, stir potatoes, gently scraping up any that stick, and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and crisp, 5 to 10 minutes longer. Using skimmer or slotted spoon, transfer fries to prepared wire rack. Season with salt and serve immediately.
