2 cups flour
1 teaspoon sat
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried basil
4 medium potatoes
2 cups cooking oil
icy cold water
1. Peal and cut the potatoes into your desire size for french fries.
2. Soak the potatoes in icy cold water for 1 hour, then drain and allow to drain for 5-10 minutes to make sure the potatoes are not soaking with water.
3. In a bowl, mix together the flour, herbs & spices.
4. Shake the potatoes in the flour to coat them well.
5. In a skillet heat 2 cups cooking oil to about 330 degrees F.
6. Add some of the french fries making sure to not over crowd the pan. Fry until golden brown.
7. Once the french fries are golden brown, remove from the pan and place onto a rack in a pan to drain the excess oil. Place in a 200 degree F. oven to keep fries hot and crispy until you are finished frying the rest.
