Easiest French Fries Ever

Cut. Put in oil. Cook for 25 minutes. Eat. No double frying, no watching temperature on the oil, no catches. It just works. The ultimate easy french fry recipe.

Prep Time 5 mins

Cook Time 25 mins

1 1/2 lb potatoes about 3 medium Yukon Gold potatoes

4 cups oil (peanut, canola or other vegetable with high smoking level)

salt

Instructions

Clean and cut potatoes into 1/4 inch fries. Very easy with a mandolin or use a sharp chef's knife.

Add 4 cups oil to Dutch oven and add fries. If fries are not covered with oil, add a little more.

Place over high heat. Cook for 15 minutes without touching. It will reach a hard boil after a few minutes.

After 15 minutes using tongs or wooden spoon, stir and scrape bottom to release any stuck fries and to break apart any clumped fries.

Continue to cook for another 10 minutes until golden brown.

Place into a large bowl lined with multiple paper towels to drain. Salt to taste.

Didn't use this particular recipe but yes, I have used this method. It works great

I was skeptical but had to try to start potatoes in room temp oil. I use my trusty big wok to deep fry so I put the oil in. I had russets in the house so I put them through my Robot Coupe veggie "shooter" and made shoestring fries. I dried them thoroughly then put them in the oil and turned up the heat. It was an amazing transformation into crispy, lovely fries that were not greasy. I've done it twice and will do it again.

The recipe posted says you must use Yukon Golds but I was successful with Russets.
