2 lbs of fresh potatoes that have been washed and peeled. They should be firm and not too waxy. If you're going to peel them before adding them to the fryer, do it immediately otherwise they'll start rotting.
Cooking oil for frying. You'll need about two inches of the oil in your fryer. We recommend using canola or vegetable oil. Never use olive oil because it has a low smoking point and will burn easily, which will flavor the French fries with burnt taste
1 ¼ teaspoons salt for every six cups of oil you are using to fry the potatoes in. This is half the amount that you would use if you were using canned French fries instead of fresh ones
A deep fryer or a Dutch oven with a basket insert at least seven inches deep. If you don't have an insert, make sure to allow for extra room in your pot because the potatoes will swell as they cook.
A kitchen scale to measure out the ingredients. We used a digital kitchen scale with a tare feature. We measured our potatoes by weight because it gives you an exact measurement. The other option is to use a measuring cup, but you'll need at least two tablespoons of oil for each cup of potatoes
A vegetable peeler to quickly remove the potato skins. Then cut the pulp into 4 or 5 vertical pieces, then cut each piece into stick. Then cut it into sticks.
In a big dish, put them and cover them with cold water. Give them 2 to 3 hours to soak. (You can alternatively place it in the refrigerator and let it to soak overnight.)
Drain the water and place the poats in 2 panes lined with paper towels when you are ready to cook the fries. Top with towels of paper for drying.
Heat up to 300 degrees F a few inches of oil in a heavy saucepan. Cook the potatoes 4 or 5 minutes each batch in three or four batches until tender. At this stage, they shouldn't be brown! The cooking procedure just wants to commence. Remove every batch and dry new towels of paper. After frying all the potatoes at 300°F, increase the heat up until the oil reaches 400°F. Once the oil is heated, cook the potatoes again in bats until the fries are brown and crisp. Remove from the olive oil and drain on towels of paper.
