A word on FRIES

Just finished my dinner of steak and fries. We used 4 russet potatoes for 3 people. It was a fine amount. The error lies in the temperature of the oil. I used Wesson and it was OK for the first batch. But the potatoes cool the oil. The second batch was mushy and became friettes. So I upped the temp and all was well. For the secon fry, the oil must be HOT and the fries float. Creating a crisp, brown perfection.
