THIN AND CRISPY
FRENCH FRIES
NOTES: For best results, it’s imperative that you use an
accurate instant-read thermometer and a timer during
frying. After the optional freezing in step 2, the fries can
be stored in a zipper-lock freezer bag in the freezer for up
to 2 months; cook them directly from frozen, as in step 3.
Peanut oil is the best oil for deep-frying, but canola,
vegetable oil, or shortening will work as well (see “All
About Oil,” here).
