Homemade French Fries
Ingredients
- 4-6 Russet Potatoes

Instructions
- Preheat oil in a deep fryer to 350°F.

- Place “fries” into cooking basket of deep fryer.
- Slowly lower the basket into the hot oil.
- Cook until golden brown in color.

I told you making homemade french fries and seasoning salt was simple! A countertop deep fryer has been one of my families best investments for the kitchen. I feel a lot safer using a small appliance dedicated to frying versus using a large pot to deep fry food on the stovetop.
Don’t forget to invest in a good potato peeler!
Having a good peeler in your kitchen drawer is key to great meals using potatoes. You can either use a manual peeler, which allows you to peel the potatoes by hand, or an electric peeler that will peel potatoes more quickly.
