Cut potatoes into strips. Bring water to a hard boil (enough water to cover the potatoes). Add approx. 2 tbsps sugar to boiling water.
Step2
Turn water off. Drop carefully potatoes into the hot water and allow to soak for 1 hour.
Step3
Fry in deep oil at 325° for 5 minutes. Drain. Increase heat to 375° and fry until fries are tender and nicely browned. Place in a paper towel or cloth to absorb much of the oil.
Tips & Warnings
You may salt to taste immediately after cooking
Great with onions added (cooked with the potatoes)
Trie with skins on them...ummm!
Be careful with hot water and oil
Also good BAKED (just lay on pam sprayed foil)and cook for 20 mins. or till brown!
