Everyone LOVES french fries. When made perfectly, they are crunchy on the outside, soft & warm on the inside. What I don't love is all the "junk" added to those delicious fries from fast food places to the frozen kind you buy at the store. I am going to show you how to make those delicious fries from simple ingrediants, most likely already in your kitchen. Add some homemade dipping sauces, such as, ketchup and/or homemade BBQ sauce with those amazing home fries and you've got yourself ... " The Best Snack". It's atleast worth a hug, kiss & a" thanks mom", if you've got kids. And well... that's worth it!

Step 1: Items Needed

What You Will Need:

1 Large organic potato ( I grow my own but they aren't ready yet)
Large bowl
1/2 Tbsp. of Kosher salt
Granulated garlic to taste
Kosher Salt to taste
Ground black peper to taste
Organic Olive oil or any cooking oil you prefer
( feel free to add more seasoning depending on what you like, sometime I make these with just the salt)
pan for cooking the fries

Step 2: Preparing the Potato

Step One:

- Wash potato with cold water, removing any dirt & eyes (do not peel potato)
- Fill large bowl half way with ice cold water
- Cut potato in half
- Cut those halves into halves
- Conitinue cutting thick slices until they resemble french fries sizes
- Remove any bad spots( I usually keep a small container to put scraps in for my chickens, they love veggie Scraps)

Step 3: Soak Salting the Potato Fries

Step 2:

- Place potato fries in large bowl containing ice cold water, fill with more ice cold water in needed to completely cover the fries
- Sprinkle 1/2 Tbsp. of Kosher salt over them and allow to set for 45 minutes

During the last 10-15 minutes of the soaking process, pre-heat oven to 450 degrees

Step 4: Seasoning the Fries

Step 3:

- Drain water, pat french fries dry with clean paper towel
- Place fries back into bowl adding 1.5 Tbsp. olive oil
- Season to taste with garlic powder, kosher salt and pepper
- Toss to coat

Step 5: Cooking the Fries

Step 4:

- On large cookie sheet, spread out the fries in a single layer
- Bake at 450 degrees for 20-25 minutes, ocassionally turning them so they can brown evenly
- Remove from oven
- Arrange on plate with yummy homemade dipping sauces
