French Fries Recipe

Made famous by mcdonalds, french fries have a long history.

Select small potatoes for your french fries recipe; peel them, and slice them lengthwise into quarters or eighths, like pieces of orange or the quarters of apples. Let them stand for ½ an hour in very cold water to extract the starch. Dry each piece carefully on cloth. Fry them in piping hot fat in a frying-pan for about 10 or so minutes. Do not fill the basket too full. Drain carefully from fat. Sprinkle with salt and serve hot.
