French Fries

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 lb. russet potatoes, peeled
• 4 cups duck fat (or peanut oil)
• sea salt

In a medium-size pot, heat duck fat to 260°F
Slice potatoes into 1/4-inch fry-shaped strips
Add a handful of potatoes to oil and fry for 10 minutes, or until cooked throughout, but not browned. Remove and reserve, and continue process with remaining batches.
When all of the potatoes have been "blanched" (that’s what you have been doing), turn the oil up to 360°F and then return the fries, to the oil and fry until golden brown. Dredge on paper towels then sprinkle generously with salt and serve immediately.
