Recipe by Gourmet Staff The trick to french fries is double-frying. First, flash-fry the potatoes to eliminate moisture, then fry them again to ensure crispness. Eating them with mayonnaise will take you to Europe.

Ingredients

About 8 cups vegetable oil 2 pounds medium baking (russet) potatoes, peeled Equipment: a deep-fat thermometer; an adjustable-blade slicer fitted with french fry or large (1/4-inch) julienne blade Accompaniment: mayonnaise

Instructions

Heat 1 1/2 inches oil to 325 °F in a 5-quart heavy pot over medium heat. While oil is heating, cut potatoes with slicer into 1/4-inch sticks. Fry potatoes in 5 batches for 1 1/2 minutes per batch (potatoes will not be golden) and transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. (Return oil to 325 °F between batches.) Heat oil to 350 °F. Refry potatoes in 5 batches until golden and crisp, about 5 minutes per batch, and transfer to clean paper towels to drain. (Return oil to 350 °F between batches.) Season fries with salt.
