Quick and Easy Soul Fries

My daughter Jazzy loves french fries! But not just any french fries; you can always tell the ones she doesn't like by the mound of ketchup on her plate. Over the years I've tried many methods to make a perfect french fry and I've gotten really elaborate with some of my attempts. However the simplest methods always seem to be the best! I've been asked by a lot of guests how I make such great fries when I cook my grilled steak and soul fries dinner, my only answer is you've got to add a little soul!

Rick's Quick and Easy Soul Fries!

Step 1 What you'll need

I don't like to spend a lot of time cutting up potatoes and I could go out and give it a french fry cutter, but I found a quick and easy tool that was already lying around the kitchen.

Materials:

Potatoes (I've found the red russet kind have the best taste)
Apple cutter (If you don't have one already there fairly cheap anywhere, I think I this one is from Wal-mart)
Knife
Cutting board
Fryer
Canola oil
Basket (or any kind of serving tray to dump the fries in)
Paper towels (or in a pinch a couple of brown lunch bags work well too)
Marcum's Soul Seasoning (you can get this at almost any food chain store)

wow can i just boil oil without a fryer

[LifeWarrior]

Yes but be extremely careful flare up from oil boiling over can set your kitchen on fire if your not careful, a fryer is fairly cheap a small one can be for only 20 or 30 dollars.

Don't you double-dip?

[LifeWarrior]

These have such a rich taste no need for a first dip :)

I meant a double-dip in the hot oil - my mother used to cook them first in slightly cooler oil, lift them out, get the oil a lot hotter and then dip them back in to gain a crispier shell.

My bad,, No I've never tried that, I usually just drop them in super hot oil and let them cook, I've tried the cool water and salt over night, and different types of oils. we are not crazy about overly crispy fries, this gives the fries a light crispy coating outside and really soft on the inside. The seasoning gets drawn in by the hot oil leaves a very unique taste.

Those look so tasty! I love french fries!

They're were delicious that night, It's got a easy kick that lights up the taste buds. The only down side is they taste so good you can't stop eating them!
