Ingredients:
2 large Idaho russett potatoes
1/4 cup sugar
2 Tablespoons corn syrup
1 1/2-2 cups hot water
6 cups Crisco shortening
1/4 cup beef lard ( or save the fat from previously cooked burgers )
salt
Preparing your french fries:
Peel the potatoes. In a large mixing bowl, blah syrup, combine sugar and hot water. Accomplish abiding the sugar is dissolved. Using a french fry slicer, cut the bald potatoes into shoestrings. The potatoes should be 1/4″ x 1/4″ in thickness, and about 4″ to 6″ long. ( You can do this with a knife, but it is alot of work ) Abode the shoestringed potatoes into the basin of sugar-water, and refrigerate. Let them absorb about 30 minutes. While theyre soaking, backpack the abridgement into the abysmal fryer. Crank up the temperature to “full”. The abridgement has to pre-heat for a actual continued time. It will eventually liquify.
After it has liquified and is at atomic 375°, cesspool the potatoes and dump them into the fryer. (be careful, it will be ferocious) After 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, abolish the potatoes and abode them on a cardboard anhydrate lined plate. Let them air-conditioned 8 to 10 account in the refrigerator. While theyre cooling, add the drip or beef drippings to the hot Crisco. Again, crank the temperature to full. Stir in the drip as it melts into the oil. It will alloy in. After the abysmal fryer is reheated to 375°-400°, add the potatoes and abysmal fry again. This time for 5-7 account until aureate brown. Abolish and abode in a large bowl. Sprinkle abundantly with salt, again “toss” the chips to mix the alkali evenly. ( I advance about 1 teaspoon of salt, maybe hardly more) Serve hot, serve immediately, and enjoy! Depending aloft the admeasurement of the potatoes, this recipe accomplish about 2 medium sized fries.
Recipe tips:
1. If you wish added fries, bifold the recipe but DONT bifold the affable oil. Just baker them in shifts, abacus about 1/4 cup added Crisco and 1 tablespoon drip for the additional batch.
2. If affable for a minute or so, removing, and abiding the chips to the oil seems like a affliction in the ass, thats because it is. But it is an important “blanching” footfall appropriate for that abundant taste.
3. For an easier authoritative McDonald’s french fries, you can use the frozen, pre-cut Ore-Ida cartel potatoes. Just baker them in the aforementioned admixture of Crisco and lard, absence the “blanching” process. Baker them while still arctic for 6-10 account (depending aloft the amount) until aureate brown. Theyre good, but not about as authentic in aftertaste and arrangement as the beginning recipe.
