Shoestring French Fries
Absolute heaven in a potato - cause the best french fries are the ones that are fried twice. But be very careful when using a mandoline cause Hubby sliced a finger along with the fries and our BBQ guests arrived just after the ambulance.

Ingredients
- 6 large baking potatoes, peeled and cut into shoestrings (¼ x 4-inches), about 3 ½ pounds
- 2 cups extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
Preparation
1. Line a cookie sheet with paper towels.
2. Peel the potatoes and cut them into shoestrings on a mandoline.
3. Heat the oil over medium heat in a heavy-bottomed pan to 325°F. You can measure this with a deep-fry thermometer, or try dropping a cube of bread into the oil. If it is brown in 15 seconds, the oil is at the correct temperature.
4. Place the fries in the oil and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on the prepared cookie sheet to drain and cool.
5. Increase the heat of the oil to 375°F. Place the fries back in for 3 to 5 minutes or until golden brown. Remove with slotted spoon. Salt the fries and serve.
