French fries not so crisp

[Selkie]

I had to look that up too! It means:

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch means; "St. Mary's Church in the hollow of white hazel near a rapid whirlpool and the Church of St. Tysilio near the red cave."

Thats the one Selkie mate the train station arrival board is 20 ft long.

I make mine from scratch only. If I am going for crispy I soak the fries in cold water (some white vinegar is a nice addition) to remove some of the starch. Pat dry and fry for a minute or two, then remove from the oil and let rest for several minutes, then fry again until done.

Pacanis,
Brings up a great point. This method is exactly what some restaurant do to get that extra crispy french fry. Frying them, allowing them to rest and then frying them a second time. Just be sure to let the oil come back up to temp before frying them a second time.
