French Fries

Ingredients:-

· Potatoes peeled and cut length wise, thick pieces- 600gm (4large)
· Salt to taste
· Pepper- ¼ teaspoon
· Oil for frying

Method:-

Heat oil in a deep fry pan on high heat for about 4 min. Add a handful of potatoes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Fry till potatoes just start changing colour (they should not turn brown). Remove and drain. Fry remaining potatoes in the same way, increasing heat after each batch. Keep potatoes in room temperature. This whole step may be done in advance.
When ready to serve, reheat oil on high heat for about 5 min. Reduce heat to medium. Again fry potatoes a handful at a time, till golden brown. Remove and drain. Sprinkle salt and pepper. Serve hot with tomato ketchup.
