Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 20 Fingerling potatoes
- Canola Oil for frying
Instructions
- Soak: Cut the fingerling potatoes in half vertically, and then cut in half again. Soak in a bowl of cold water for about 15 minutes to remove the starch.
- Drain: Drain the potatoes and pat dry with a paper towel. It’s important the fries are as dry as possible.
- Fry: In a large frying pan, heat about 1-inch of oil to 300 degrees F. Place about 10 potatoes into the oil and cook until the fries start to float.
- Rest: Remove them to a paper towel-lined pan and allow them to rest for at least 10 minutes. Continue cooking all of the potatoes this way.
- Fry: Crank up the heat to 350 degrees F. Place about 10 pre-cooked potatoes into the oil and cook until slightly golden brown.
- Serve: Remove them to a paper towel-lined pan and season with salt. Serve with mayonnaise or your dip of choice.
