French fries


I think almost everyone love french fries. So I gave it a try at home. I am neither going to make it anymore nor I am gonna eat them out. Even though they tasted good, the oil consumption for this recipe gave me a heart attack!! Instead, I am gonna try baked french fries. Anyways, here is the recipe.
Preparation time: 2 hrs
Working time: 40 min.
Serving size: depends but approx. 4 persons
Ingredients:
Large potatoes: 4
Salt to taste
Oil for deep frying
Method:
Peel and cut potatoes into long fingers.
Soak them in chilled water for 1 hr.
Drain & dry them with a kitchen towel.
Heat oil in pan.
Oil should be very hot.
When the oil is emanating fumes, fry the fingers.
Fry them till a tinge of golden colour appears.
Drain and keep aside.
Just before serving, return to hot oil.
Fry till they are golden colored and crisp.
( As this step takes time, I fried them twice - double dip)
To keep them hot till serving time, transfer fries to a baking sheet and keep them in the oven.
Oven parameter should be warm.
Serve hot with ketchup.
