Jon's French Fries

Ok, so this is not so much a recipe as it is a technique to make the BEST FRIES at home.  Im serious!  I ate so many while making them that i didn't really have an appetite for dinner and its all Lisa talked about for a few days!

Ingredients:

potatoes  (We used red potatoes and they worked great! Next time we are trying it with sweet potatoes!)

Oil- just regular vegetable oil works great

seasonings  (we used salt, a sea salt and garlic mixture, season salt, and our favorite of all... cavenders)

Prep:

First cut the potatoes into thin fry-like strips and place them in luke warm water.  While they sit in the water heat up your oil (you really don't need much oil for this because you cook the fires in smaller batches)  I set my oil in a large stock pot at  med-high until it got to about 350-375 degrees.  Take the fries out of the water and pat them all dry.  Once the fries and oil are ready put about 1/4 of the fries in the oil for about 4 minutes.  You don't want to cook them all the way or give them any color at this step.  You are just looking for blistered skin and a soft inside.

 When you take them out, place them on a cookie sheet lined with paper towels to soak up the oil.  Once all the fires are done with their first "bath" place the cookie sheet with all the fries in the freezer for about an hour, or until the fries are firm.  Make sure to save your oil because you can just use it again for the second splash down.  After your hour is up, get the oil hot again(the same temp, about 350-375) and get ready for some awesome fries.  This time do the fries in smaller batches stirring more regularly so each fry gets fried on all side

After about 4 minutes and some brownish skin they are ready!  Take them out and put the seasoning of your choice on right away!  ENJOY!

Lisa's note: OH MY GOODNESS!!!! All I wanted to eat for the next 3 days were these fries. You WONT be sorry if you make these. It seems like an annoying process to blister, freeze then fry but its really not. It takes a little organization, thats it! So incredibly delicious!
