                            French Fries

Sure to make french fries here is the secret the first batch will always come

out pale as the oil is new and somehow never seems to brown them as it should.

So plan on eating the first batch yourself. Cut up fries into pieces about 3/8

inch pieces the lingth of the potato and put them in oil that is about 350

degrees ( about hot enough to brown a 1 inch by 1 inch piece of bread in one

min. Put in a small amount of fries at a time so that they don't cool of the

oil I usualy put in about as many as it takes to cover the pan ine deep then

let them cook till brown and they rise to the top ( if they are too brown when

they float or too pale then ajust the temprature) to make special fries role or

shake them in flour and spices before cooking or sprinkle with a seasoned salt

mixture after.
