Measure the temperature with a candy or deep frying thermometer. • Strain the ice water from the potatoes and lay them out on a kitchen towel. Pat the potatoes dry. • Turn the oil to medium-high. • Drop the potatoes into the oil carefully. • Fry the potatoes for six to eight minutes, or until they start to turn light brown. Fry for less time if you prefer softFrench fries. • Remove the fries from the oil using a slotted spoon. • Set the French fries on a dry paper towel to absorb the oil • Allow the French fries to cool for 10 minutes. • Heat the oil to 350 degrees and add the French fries again. • Fry for an additional minute. • Remove the French fries and place them on a paper towel lined plate. • Sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper and serve.
