  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   3      md            Russet potatoes -- to large
                        Vegetable oil -- for deep frying
                        Corn starch
                        Salt -- to taste

Peel the potatoes, and cut them lengthwise into strips 1/4" thick. In
a bowl cover the potatoes with cold water and let them soak, chilled,
overnight.

In a deep fryer or heavy saucepan preheat the oil to 325 F. Drain the
potatoes and pat them dry. Sprinkle the potatoes with corn starch
shaking off the excess. Add the potatoes to the oil and fry them for
3 to 5 minutes, or until they are soft and just beginning to brown.
With a spider or slotted spoon transfer the potatoes to a tray lined
with paper towels to drain.

Just before serving heat the oil in the deep fryer to 395 F. Add the
potatoes and cook for 1 minute, or until golden. Transfer to paper
towels to drain, sprinkle with salt and serve.

Yield: 4 Servings
