You love french fries, right? Just close your eyes and imagine them. Perfectly crisp outside. Tender and light inside. That crunch when you bite into them — no soggy wannabes. For most of us the siren call of a side of fries is almost too magnetic to ignore.

Cooking InstructionsHide images

step 1

Fill a large bowl halfway with cold water. Set aside. Using a sharp knife or mandoline, slice the Yukon Gold Potatoes (5) into thin fries (about 1/3 to 1/2-inch thick). Transfer the cut potatoes to the cold water.

step 2

Swish the potatoes in the water with you hand and drain the water from the potatoes. Refill the bowl with cold water and rinse again.

step 3

Use paper towels to pat the potatoes dry.

step 4

Add the Peanut Oil (as needed) to a medium dutch oven. Put the potatoes into the cold oil.

step 5

Place the oven on the stove and turn the heat to medium-medium high. The oil will bubble briskly once it comes to temperature.

step 6

Cook the potatoes for 25 to 30 minutes until crisp outside and tender inside, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with paper towels and set aside.

step 7

Use a spider or slotted spoon to scoop out the fries and transfer them to the baking sheet. Immediately sprinkle the fries with Kosher Salt (as needed).

step 8

Serve warm with ketchup or dipping sauce of choice!
