4 md Idaho or Russet potatoes
Olive oil
Coarse salt; to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

Peel potatoes, and cut into desired size and shape. To make thick French
fries, slice the potatoes lengthwise into 1/4-inch slices and cut again
into 1/4-inch strips. For shoestring potatoes, use a french mandolin fitted
with the fine julienne blade. Make the basket-weave style by fitting the
mandolin with the fluted cutting blade; rotate the potato 90 degrees
between each pass over the blade. Place sliced potatoes in a large
nonreactive bowl and cover with water. Drain potatoes and dry thoroughly
with a towel. Heat about 3 to 4 inches olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pot
over medium heat. Using a thermometer, be sure the temperature is 325
degrees for the french fries and 375 degrees for the shoestring and
basketweave potatoes. (NOTE: The oil needs to be just the right temperature
~- if it is too cool, the potatoes will act like a sponge and absorb the
oil; conversely, if the oil is too hot, the outside of the potato will burn
before the inside cooks through.) Carefully add potatoes to oil in small
batches so as not to lower the temperature of the oil. Cook shoestring and
basketweave potatoes for 2 to 3 minutes, turning occasionally. The French
fries need to cook for 5 to 6 minutes, turning occasionally. Transfer to a
brown paper bag that has been lined with paper toweling and let cool for a
few minutes. French fries need to be fried a second time; raise oil
temperature to 375 degrees, and fry for about 1 to 2 minutes until crisp
and golden. Remove from oil and drain again in the paper bag. Sprinkle with
salt and serve. Makes 4 servings.
