Recipe:
Ingredients:

• Potatoes
• Oil for deep frying
• Salt and Pepper

Procedure:

• Rinse cut potatoes in a large bowl with lots of cold running water until water becomes clear.
• Refrigerate at least 30 minutes and up to 2 days.
• Heat oil over medium-low heat until 325 degrees F. Keep at least 3 inches of space between oil surface and the top of the pan, the fries will bubble up when they are added.
• Wrap potato pieces in a clean dishcloth and thoroughly pat dry. 
• Increase the heat to medium-high and add fries, a handful at a time. 
• Fry (stirring occasionally) until potatoes are soft and limp and begin to turn a blond color, about 6 to 8 minutes. 
• Carefully remove fries from the oil and set aside to drain on paper towels. 
• Let rest for at least 10 minute.
• When ready to serve the fries reheat the oil to 350 degrees F. Put the blanched potatoes to the hot oil and fry again, stirring frequently, until golden brown for about 1 minute. 
• Serve it on a plate and sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste.

French fried is popularly served with Portuguese dish Francesinha also.
