Triple Cooked Fries Recipe from Heston Blumental at Home
- 2 pounds baker’s potatoes, peeled and cut into fries (approximately 2x2x6 cm)
grape seed oil
sea salt
Place the fries into a bowl of running water for 5 minutes to wash the starch off.
Put the potatoes in a large saucepan and fill with cold tap water until potatoes are covered. Place the pan on medium heat and simmer until the potatoes are almost falling apart, about 20 minutes.
Carefully remove the fires and place them on a cooling rack to dry out. Place the rack in the freezer to remove the moisture.
Heat a deep pan no more than half filled with oil to 265F. Fry the fries in small batches until a light crust forms (about 5 minutes). Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.
Put the potatoes on a cooling rack and freeze again for an hour to remove even more moisture.
Heat the oil to 350F and fry the fries until golden (about 7 minutes). Drain and sprinkle with sea salt. Enjoy hot.
