Admit it, you love McDonald’s french fries. And if you have any sense, you prefer a nice, crispy fry over a limp, lifeless potato stick. This is the perfect recipe for delicious tasting AND crunchy french fries AT HOME, without a deep fryer.
Step 1: Cut potatoes up! Preferably into thin pieces, unless you want mushy potato wedges, which, hey, to each thier own – but not recommended. Approx. 1 potato per person will be plenty.
Step 2: Place potato slices into a pot, cover with water (just enough so they float). Squeeze one whole lemon into the pot, and then throw the whole rind in with it! Bring to a boil for 10 minutes or so, or until soft, but keeping their shape.
Step 3: Drain potatoes, and set aside. Bring 2″ or so of vegetable oil (or other) to an almost boil. Carefully drop in some potato slices with a metal spoon, or spatula. Let them fry for 7 – 10 minutes. They will NOT turn brown, so don’t wait for them to.
Step 4: Carefully remove fries with said spoon, and let cool.
Step 5: Wait for oil to heat back up, and place fries back into oil for 1 – 2 minutes. Fries will start to brown quickly.
Step 6: Toss some salt and pepper on them while they’re still hot!
Step 7: eat.
I tested this recipe last night and it was.. um perfect.
