Frozen ones just wont cut it, and baking them isn’t the same. We love the fries that we get at restaurants, and wanted to duplicate them at home. Crispy fresh french fries, right from your own stove. It is possible, and the secret, which actually isn’t much of a secret anymore but you may not know this, is DOUBLE frying the potatoes. Yup. These little nuggets need two baths in some hot oil to develop that crispy exterior that you love so much. I was skeptical, but it actually worked. Plus, these taste so much better than the frozen variety!
Ingredients
3-4 medium potatoes, cut into sticks- 4-5 cups canola or peanut oil
