Ingredients:
Directions:
1
Heat about 2-inches of oil in a large, heavy bottomed pot over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer reads 365 degrees F
2
Line a pan with paper towels
3
While the oil heats slice the potatoes into shoestring fries with the thin julienne attachment of a hand-held mandolin or vegetable slicer
4
Swish the cut potatoes in a bowl of tepid water, and then spin them as dry as possible in a salad spinner
5
Spread them on towels, and blot with more towels—you want the potatoes bone dry so that they don't spatter in the hot oil
6
Increase the heat to medium-high, and working in batches, carefully add the potatoes to the oil and fry until brown and crispy, about 4 minutes
7
Scoop the fries from the oil with a slotted spoon, and drain on the prepared pan
8
Repeat with the rest of the potatoes, making sure the oil returns to 365 degrees F
