Instructions

6 steps

1
Cut: Peel (optional) and cut the potatoes into even 1cm (3/8 in) batons.

2
Soak: Soak the cut fries in cold water for 15 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain and pat completely dry.
3
First Fry: Heat the oil to 150°C (300°F) and fry the potatoes in batches for 4-5 minutes until soft but not coloured. Remove and drain.
4
Rest: Let the par-cooked fries cool for at least 5 minutes.
5
Second Fry: Raise the oil to 190°C (375°F) and fry again for 2-3 minutes until deep golden and crisp.
6
Season: Drain on paper towels and toss immediately with salt. Serve hot with ketchup.
