Double Fried French Fries

I love fries! Who am I kidding, everyone loves fries! I read an article a few weeks back from a French physician and he recommended that you should only eat six fries for a serving - let's just say I think the guy is nuts.

These homemade french fries are super delicious. Crispy on the outside and nice and soft on the inside - just the perfect little fry!

Double Fried French Fries
Makes 3-4 servings

Ingredients:

• 1 extra large or 2 large russet potatoes
• 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 quarts vegetable oil

How to make double fried french fries:

1. Wash your potato and cut it into 1/3" sticks. Cut your potato into 1/3" slices, then cut the slices into sticks. 
2. Place in a bowl and cover with water for several hours. 
3. 30 minutes before frying, drain your potatoes and pat them dry. 
4. In a large dutch oven or deep fryer, heat your oil to 300 degrees.
5. Place your cut potatoes in the oil and cook until just tender, but not brown. This usually takes 8-12 minutes. Note: you may have to do this in batches depending upon how big your dutch oven or fryer is. 
6. Remove the potatoes and let drain on some paper towels. 
7. Bring your oil temperature up to 375 degrees. 
8. Drop your par cooked potatoes into the oil two handfuls at a time and let them get crispy and gold brown. This will take 3-4 minutes.
9. Remove the potatoes and drain. Immediately toss with salt, pepper, and parmesan cheese.
