Do you remember the old children’s game? (If not, ask your mother!) These tasty fries are thinly julienned and fry up beautifully. Pair them with our Mediterranean Spice Burgers or Grateful Turkey Burgers. They are sure to add a “kick” to any football party or family dinner.
Ingredients
1 lb. Idaho baking potatoes-room temperature/skin on
(Use the large bakers for better results.)
6 cups peanut oil
Potato Spice Seasoning (Recipe follows)
Directions
Heat uncovered to 375 degrees F- 6 cups of peanut oil in the 4 Quart Stock Pot.
Julienne slice the potatoes lengthwise into strips that are 1/8” x 1/8”. Dry potatoes with paper toweling.
Fry potato sticks in small batches (1-cup) for one minute. (There should be no color to the potatoes-yet.) Using a spider mesh or a slotted spoon remove the potatoes from the oil and transfer them to a platter or bowl. *Be sure to bring the oil’s heat back up to
375 degrees F between batches. Repeat this process until all the potatoes have been
Par-fried.
Fry the potatoes a second time (2 batches) for 1-2 minutes. The potato sticks should be deep golden brown. Remove them from the oil and transfer them to a paper lined platter or baking sheet.
Sprinkle immediately with the *Potato Spice Seasoning.
