Homemade Crispy Fries-Restaurant Style

Annnnnd fries just aren’t complete without fry sauce to dip them in, am I right?!

3 medium russet potatoes (Idaho potatoes of course)
Salt
1 1/2 Tbsp Oil (I used light flavored Olive Oil)

 

Instructions: Wash potatoes. Cut into strips. Put in a pot of boiling water. Let boil for 3-4 minutes. The potatoes will be see thru and flexible, not soft yet. Take them out with tongs or a spoon with slats so the water drains off. Put them in a large bowl with oil. Lightly stir them so the oil evenly coats the fries. Line a cookie sheet with tin foil. Spread fries out evenly on foil. Salt them to preference. Bake in oven at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes. At this point, remove fries from the oven and turn them over. I used tongs to do this. Put them back in the oven for another 10 minutes, or until they are browned to your liking.

Fry Sauce- Mix equal parts mayo and ketchup until smooth. Add a dash of vinegar and stir until smooth. I usually use 1/2  c mayo, 1/2 ketchup, and a teaspoon of vinegar. Adjust accordingly.
