Better than Fast Food French Fries
Makes about 6 servings
peanut or vegetable oil for frying
2 russet potatoes
kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Heat the oil in the Waring Pro ®
Cut potatoes into french fry-cut uniform sticks (about 6 x 6 mm)
or into slices ¼ inch or less thick. As you cut, put the potatoes in
a bowl of ice water to keep them from turning brown.
Drain and dry the potato strips completely and thoroughly.
They cannot be at all wet, or the oil will spatter and spit. Fry the
potatoes in small batches. Cook for about 3 minutes, remove
and drain on layers of paper towels. Increase temperature of oil
to 375°F. In small batches again, fry the potatoes for a second time,
this time about 4 minutes, until golden and crispy. Drain on fresh
layers of paper towels. Season to taste and serve immediately.
Seasoning suggestions: herb blends, Cajun or Creole seasonings,
and chili powder.
Professional Deep Fryer to 325°F.

½ teaspoon kosher salt

Cut chicken into ½ x 2-inch strips. Place cut chicken in the chilled
brine mixture and refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes. Combine the
flour with the salt, pepper, paprika, and granulated garlic in a
shallow bowl. Blend honey and mustard to make honey mustard

Dip the drained and dried chicken strips in buttermilk and roll in
flour to coat well. Place the strips on a plate. Carefully place the
chicken strips in the hot oil in batches. Cook, turning once, about
3 to 4 minutes per side. Drain on layers of paper towels and serve
