hand cut seasoned fries

How To Make hand cut seasoned fries

• Step 1
  Wash the potatoes.
• Step 2
  Cut the bottom of each potato off on the long axis, so it will stand flat on a cutting board.
• Step 3
  Slice in half along the long axis then slice into 1/4-inch slices. It may be necessary to cut the slices in half if too large.
• Step 4
  Rinse the potatoes in cold water and drain. Rinse a second time and drain.
• Step 5
  Turn the potatoes out onto paper towels and dry them.
• Step 6
  Using a large deep pot, place the potatoes in room temperature oil. (This is the secret to not having to double fry them.)
• Step 7
  Turn the burner to medium high heat. Allow the potatoes to cook. Place a splatter screen over the top of the pot.
• Step 8
  When done, remove the fries and place into a bowl with paper towels. Season and toss. I use Lawry's and garlic powder. You can use any spices or toppings you like. Garlic, grated Parmesan, cayenne... whatever you fancy!
