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!
