NO BRAINER! Homemade French Fries

These homemade french fries are as simple as it gets.  There are only 3 ingredients and limited work.  In fact, the hardest thing you'll do is chop the potatoes!  These are one of my husband's favorite things, and I think one of the reasons is because of the simplicity of it...you really just get the fantastic taste of potato!

Ingredients:

- Potatoes, cut into fry like strips
- Salt
- Oil (not pictured)

Directions:

1.  You'll need a deep fryer or a pan of heated oil.  Set your deep fryer at 375 degrees and allow it to heat up while you slice your potatoes.

2.  Wash your potatoes and wipe dry.  Slice lengthwise, then slice into french fry like strips.  And for goodness sake, KEEP ON THE SKIN...that's vitamins and flavor you will be tossing away!  You can make them as thin or as thick as you prefer.  A thinner fry will result in a crispier fry, and a thicker, wedge cut will result in a less crispy alternative.

3.  Now that you have all your potatoes sliced, and your deep fryer is heated and ready, toss in a handful of the potatoes and fry until you're reached the desired level of crisp.  They should float when the potato is done.

4.  Remove to a pan or a plate with paper towels to absorb any unwanted grease and salt.  Shake them around a bit to unstick any potatoes.

That's the final product above!  We serve ours with a bit of ketchup or hot sauce.  Simple, delicious, and essential next to a great burger!  Enjoy!
