Ingredients
- 6 cups (1420 ml) vegetable oil, for frying
- 4 russet potatoes (about 800 g), washed and dried
- fine salt
Instructions
- Attach a deep-frying thermometer to the side of a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, then warm 2 inches of oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 320°F.
- Prepare a large bowl filled with cold water. While the oil is warming, slice the potatoes. Use a mandoline fitted with a “waffle” or “crinkle” blade to cut each potato into 1/2 inch thick slices, turning the potato 90 degrees with each cut to create the waffle design. Submerge the slices in the water as they are cut.
- Rinse the potato slices with cold water to eliminate excess starch, then pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels.
- Line two baking sheets with dry paper towels. Fry the potato slices in batches until they start to soften and remain pale, about 5 minutes per batch, then place them on the towel-covered baking sheets.
- Increase the oil temperature to 375°F over high heat. In batches, fry the potatoes again until they are crispy and golden-brown, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Transfer them to the towel-lined baking sheets and season with fine salt before serving them hot.
Notes
- Thoroughly dry potato slices before frying to reduce splattering.
- Use a mandoline with a “waffle” or “crinkle” blade for a unique texture.
- Fry potatoes in batches for even cooking and crispy results.
