Shoestring Fries (Shoestring Potatoes)

canola oil (for deep-frying (around 3-4 inches of oil))

Russet potatoes

salt and pepper

garlic chili

Heat

Place oil in a large, deep, pan, Dutch oven, or deep fryer. Attach a deep-fry thermometer to monitor the temperature and heat oil to 350F.

Prep

While oil is heating, wash and peel potatoes and remove any dark spots.

Slice

Using a mandoline slicer fitted with the julienne blade and slice potatoes into matchsticks.

Chill

Place sliced potatoes in a large bowl of ice water and chill 10 minutes.

Remove potatoes from water bath and place on paper towels or clean dish cloths to dry completely. Pat the potatoes dry or use a salad spinner, if available. The dryer the potatoes, the less excess splattering there will be.

Once oil is 350F, place dried potatoes (1 cup at a time) in the oil and stir to separate them. Adjust temperature to keep it as close to 350F as possible. To avoid oil flare-ups, DO NOT add too many potatoes at one time.

Fry 2½ - 3½ minutes or until dark golden brown. Watch closely and stir often.

Drain

Transfer cooked potatoes with a slotted spoon to a paper-towel covered surface and season with salt and black pepper. If desired, add other spices or seasonings at this time.

Repeat

Repeat process until all potatoes are fried.

Cool

Allow potatoes to cool completely, then store in an airtight container. The potatoes will stay crispy and crunchy at least 3 days and probably more.

Serve

Serve as is or with a side of sweet, hot mustard, bbq sauce or dip of your choice.
