Number Of Ingredients 4

8 Idaho potatoes
2 to 3 quarts vegetable oil
1 tablespoon coarse salt
Homemade Mayonnaise

Steps:

  • Peel potatoes if desired; cut into 1/2-inch-thick matchsticks. Place in a bowl of cold water to soak for 10 minutes.
  • Heat oil in a large saucepan (at least 5 quarts) to 325 degrees. Remove potatoes from water; dry very well with paper towels. Add potatoes in batches to oil; blanch for 2 minutes (potatoes will not take on any color). Drain well; transfer to pans lined with paper towels to cool completely.
  • Raise heat of oil to 375 degrees. Heat oven to 250 degrees. Add potatoes to oil in batches; fry until golden, about 3 minutes. Drain well; place on a rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt; keep warm in oven while frying remaining potatoes. Serve immediately.

I tried this recipe and the fries turned out soggy. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These fries were a bit too crispy for my taste. I think I'll cook them for a shorter amount of time next time.

I found that the fries needed a little more salt. Other than that, they were great.

I've tried many different recipes for pommes frites, but this one is by far the best. The fries are always crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
