Ingredients:
2 lbs baking potatoes, cut into 1/2 inch thick, cubed strips
canola oil ( for frying)
seasoning salt
Directions:
Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
Blanch (boil) the potato strips in the water for 2 minutes.
Remove the potato strips from the water and set aside.
Meanwhile, heat about 2 inches of oil in a wok or a very VERY large saucepan to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
CAUTION: Do not fill your pan even close to the top; your oil will expand during cooking and will catch fire if it pours out.
Fry the potato strips, in small batches, for about 5 minutes or until golden brown.
Drain on paper towels.
Sprinkle with the seasoning salt as soon as they come out of the oil.
Cooking Tip: You can keep your cooked batches of fries hot while you are still frying the others by putting them in a preheated 250 degree Fahrenheit oven.
