Sometimes you just got to have it.  If you saw my wife, you would think that she never eats anything unhealthy for her.  She does eat very healthy but she has a weakness and that weakness is french fries.  Now, I rarely make fried foods and I usually bake fries when I make them.  My baked version is really good.  But to get the crispness there is nothing better than frying.  And if you fry it twice, you get the perfect, and aptly named, Twice Fried French Fries.  So the very simple Tuesday Tip – Twice Fried French Fries.

I have the perfect slicer for making french fries.

Sliced fries

Cut Fries

The most traditional way to fry is with your Cast iron skillet.

Fries in oil

Fries in Oil

Fry once and remove from pan and drain on a towel.  Cook your fries in batches and be sure not to overcrowd the pan.  Fry a second time to get perfect crispness.  Salt right away when they come out the second time.

    I can totally relate to your wife because french fries are my number one weakness! And with these golden brown beauties, I’d ditch my healthy diet any day!

      Thx Colleen. Like my wife, you can certainly afford to eat a fry or two. 🙂

      Carol, I try not too as well. But every once in a while, it has to be ok. Doesn’t it?

    When you refer to your “perfect slicer”, I am unable to click on it. I just am confused about what it is. Can you clarify?

      it is a Williams Sonoma product – and there are different blades that enable you to cut different shapes. Hope that helps.
