Author: Serious Spice
Serves: 3
Ingredients
- 4 large potatoes, peeled
- 3 cups canola oil
- zest of 1 lemon
- 2 sprigs of rosemary, minced
- 3 tablespoons mayonaise
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon tabasco
Instructions
- Julien your peeled potatoes into thin slices. Place potato slices on two layers of paper towel and cover with another two layers of paper towel. Pat down on the potatoes until dry.
- Heat up the canola oil in a sauce pan on high heat. Test the oil by placing the back end of a wooden spoon and checking to see if it bubbles up. If yes, you're oil is ready. Fry the potatoes in batches, avoiding putting too much in at the same time so the temperature of the oil doesn't lower too much. Fry the potatoes until they are just starting to turn golden brown, but not all the way. Once you reach that point, set them on more paper towels to absorb the excess oil.
- Once you've fried the first round, keep the oil on high, and fry the potatoes again. Double frying makes sure they stay crispy and don't get soggy too fast. This time you can fry them until they do reach a full golden brown. Then remove and place on the paper towels again.
- Finely chop the lemon zest and rosemary and place in a large bowl with salt. Toss the fries in the seasoning mixture until fully coated.
- To make the dipping sauce, stir together mayo, ketchup, and tabasco. Serve with fries and enjoy!
