    1. Peel the potato [that's KP duty]. Slice into strips 2 inches long, 3/4 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick.

    3. Fry in deep fat fryer [325F] until golden brown.
    4. Drain on unglazed paper.
    5. IF you want to make them fancy {Parisienne Potatoes} use a small melon scooper to scoop out small balls and fry as above.


    Final Comments


    Or you can dump in a bunch of frozen fries that have been in the freezer case gawd knows how long and done on equipment that you have NO clue how clean it is. Besides fresh really does make a difference all that aside. No soggy fries here.
