Title: N.Y.T. French Fries
Categories: Five, Potatoes
Yield: 4 servings

3 lb Russet potatoes, peeled,
- in 1/4" X 1/4" fries kept
- refrigerated in cold,
- clean water overnight
2 tb + 1 ts distilled white
- vinegar
3 qt Oil
Salt

Working quickly, remove the fries from the cold water,
and drain off as much water as you can without breaking
the fries. Discard the water, and place the fries in a
large, wide, heavy-bottomed pot. Cover with 2 1/2 quarts
of clean, cold water, and add the vinegar. Bring to a
low boil for 6 minutes. The fries should be cooked
through but not falling apart. Remove the fries with a
slotted spoon or spider onto a baking sheet fitted with
a paper-towel-lined rack. Cool and dry the potatoes on
the rack.

Once the potatoes are cool and dry, prepare your deep
fryer. Heat the 3 quarts of oil in a large Dutch oven
(at least a 5 quart). Attach a candy thermometer to the
side of the fryer, and heat until the gauge reads
395+|F/200+|C. Working in three batches, add the fries to
the oil, and cook for 1 1/2 minutes. Using a slotted
spoon or spider, remove the fries and place on another
baking sheet fitted with a paper-towel-lined rack.
Repeat with the rest of the fries until all of them have
been blanched in the oil for 1 1/2 minutes.

Let the fries cool and dry on the rack for 1 hour, and
then gently place them in a large, plastic food-storage
container, being careful not to break the fries. Cover,
and freeze overnight. Cool, strain and reserve the oil.

The following day, reheat the reserved oil in the Dutch
oven. Attach a candy thermometer to the side of the
fryer, and heat the oil until the gauge reads
395+|F/200+|C.

Working in three batches, add the fries to the oil, and
cook until the fries are light golden in color, about 4
minutes. Agitate the fries with a slotted spoon or
spider during the cooking process to ensure even
cooking. Adding the fries will have lowered the
temperature of your fryer but adjust as needed in order
to maintain 375+|F/190+|C. (It is better for your fryer to
be below 375+|F/190+|C rather than over it.)

Remove the fries from the oil into a metal bowl lined
with paper towels. Season all over with kosher salt, and
serve at once.

Title: McDonald's French Fries - Copycat
Categories: Potatoes
Yield: 3 Servings

MMMMM---------------------------BRINE--------------------------------
8 c Cold water
1/2 c Corn syrup
3 tb Salt
1 ts White vinegar

MMMMM---------------------------FRIES--------------------------------
6 lg Russet potatoes; 4.5 lb
1 qt Oil
1/2 c Vegetable shortening
Salt

Combine the brine ingredients and set aside.

Peel and rinse that potatoes.

Slice them into strings just under 1/2". (A french fry
potato cutter makes this easy.)

Place them in the cold brine as you slice them. Ensure
the potatoes are completely submerged. Add more cold
water if needed.

Cover and place the brine in the fridge for 2 hours or
overnight.

Drain and rinse them twice with cold water. Pat them
completely dry.

Heat oil to 300+|F/150+|C. A dutch oven and oil
thermometer is very helpful.

Fry the potatoes in batches for about 5 minutes. Remove
with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towels. They
will be very soft. (This is a good thing.)

Add the vegetable shortening and increase the heat to
400+|F/205+|C. Fry in batches again until golden brown.
(It's hard to be patient during this part.)

Remove and place on paper towels. Season with salt
right away and serve!
