CRISPY SPICY FRENCH FRIES

• Gradually stir in enough water so that the mixture can be drizzled from a spoon.

• The fries must be placed into the skillet one at a time, or they will clump together.
• Fry until golden brown and crispy.
• Remove and drain on paper towels.

THE BEST CRISPY FRENCH-FRIES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cover the potatoes with water.
• In a deep fryer fitted with a basket or a heavy medium saucepan, heat 3 inches of vegetable oil to 340°F.
• Drain the potatoes and pat dry with paper towels.
• Add half the potatoes to the oil and cook until they begin to blister and turn golden, about 15 minutes.
• Shake up the basket every once in a while (not too often - especially in the beginning when the fries are still soft), or run a fork through the saucepan to make sure fries are not sticking together.
• Spread the fries on paper towels to drain and cool.
• Repeat with remaining fries.
• (Fries can be made to this point up to 4 hours in advance of serving).
• Heat the oil to 375°F.
• Add a quarter of the fries and cook until browned and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Drain on paper towels and repeat with remaining fries.
• Sprinkle with sea salt and some oregano.
