Fried Potatoes

There is not a whole lot to say about this recipe. There are three ingredients listed, but really it’s just potatoes.

I sliced my potatoes and washed them about thirty minutes before I cooked them. This helped them drain a little longer.

It is so important to dry off the potatoes before plunging them in the hot oil.

Oil and water are not a great combination. You could start a fire.

Frying the potatoes twice gives them the extra crispiness a good fry should have.

These were perfect with salt. My daughter is really into Old Bay seasoning right now, so we tossed the fries with a little old bay and salt.

They were delicious!
