Ingredients
4 - 5 Idaho potatoes
Peanut oil for frying

Peel potatoes and cut them into 1/2 inch thick sticks. Soak in ice water for 30 minutes and rinse to remove all surface starch. Dry potatoes with a towel. Blanch potatoes in batches in 280 degree oil for 6 to 8 minutes. Let blanched frites rest for 15 minutes. Fry them in 375 degree oil for 2 to 3 minutes until browned and crispy. Remove from fryer, drain, salt, and serve.
