Homemade French Fries

• Russert Potatoes, about 1 per person
• Peanut Oil
• All Purpose Seasoned Coating Mix (Miracle Bake is a great brand)
• Deep Fryer

Peel Potatoes if desired and cut them length wise and then turn and cut again into a long rectangular shape. Use a Julienne cutter if available.

Soak the potatoes in cold water for about 15 minutes.

Put the peanut oil into the deep fryer and heat to 350F.

Take a plastic Ziploc bag and pour some seasoning into the bag. (Enough to coat about 1/2 cup of potatoes).

Take about a half cup of sliced potatoes, ( dry them with paper towel first) and put them into the bag with seasoning. Zip it up and shake to coat. Immediately remove the potatoes from the bag and put them into the deep fryer (please follow the instructions for your deep fryer).

Fry them for 2 minutes and pull them out and place them on a paper towel to cool. (The French Fries are not done at this point).

Repeat until all potatoes are cooked.

Now turn up your deep fryer to 375F.

Start with the first batch that cooled and insert into deep fryer. Cook until golden brown (usually 2-3 additional minutes).

Remove and place on clean paper towels to pull up excess grease.

Repeat until all the potatoes are done.

They are now ready to serve!! Enjoy!!
