Salt and Pepper Fries

Step 1

Cut Potato into ½ inch thick sticks or your desired thickness. Keep in mind the potatoes do shrink as you cook them.

Step 2

Soak the potatoes into ice-cold water for 30 minutes.

Step 3

Add salt and water (enough to cover all the potatoes) to a large pot, and bring it to a simmer.

Step 4

Add the potatoes and blanch for 3-5 minutes; you want the potato to be 50% cooked.

Step 5

Pat dry the fries with a paper towel and coat the fries with a thin layer of corn starch.

Step 6

Heat oil in the pan to 320 F. and add in ⅓ of fries. Deep fry for 3 minutes, remove and repeat the process with the remainder fries.

Step 7

Turn the heat up to high ~ 380 F and double fry for another 3-4 minutes or until crispy and golden brown.

Step 8

Season the fries with salt and pepper seasoning, chopping cilantro and green onion, and enjoy!
