Hardee's French Fries
Ingredients:
- 6 cups vegetable oil
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 cups warm water
- 2 large
russet potatoes, peeled
- salt
Directions:
- Heat the oil in a deep saucepan over low-med. heat for about 20 minutes.
- In a med. bowl, mix the sugar into the water until dissolved.
- Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise, and then into 1/4" strips. Put
the potatoes into the sugar solution and soak for 15 minutes.
- Remove the potatoes and dry them thoroughly on paper towels.
- The
right oil temperature is crucial here. To test the oil, fry a couple of
potato slices for 6 minutes. Remove and cool, then taste.
- The
fries should no get too dark too soon and should be soft in the middle.
If the oil is too hot, turn it down and test again.
- The fries
should not be undercooked, either. If they are, turn up the heat.
-
When the oil temperature is just right, put all of the potato slices
in the oil for 1 minute. This is the blanching stage.
- Take the
fries out of the oil and let them cool. When the fries have cooled,
place them into the oil again for 5 minutes, or until golden brown.
-
Remove from the oil and place on a paper towel-covered plate. Salt
to taste.
