Ingredients:
1 tbsp
Coarse Salt (kosher or)Directions:
1
In a large heavy saucepan or deep fat fryer, heat 4 to 5 inches of vegetable oil to 360
2
Rub the potato strips with the salt
3
Fry the potatoes, in several batches to prevent overcrowding and sticking, for 2 to 3 minutes, until cooked through but not colored
4
Be sure to return the oil to 360 degrees before cooking the next batch, or the potatoes will absorb too much oil and be greasy
5
Set the potatoes aside on paper towels until you have finished cooking all of them, then increase the temperature of the oil to 390 degrees
6
Refry the potatoes, again in batches
7
This time they will take very little time to become crisp, golden brown, and puffy (keep the first batches warm in a low oven while you finish frying, and again be sure to return the oil to 390 degrees for the subsequent batches)
8
Remove with a slotted spoon to drain briefly on paper towels

Serve while hot
