OT - Cooks Illustrated Cold Oil Fries
This method is the by far the easiest and best tasting homemade French Fry recipe out there IMHO. A buddy of mine led me to this method years ago. It's the only way I do them. If you haven't tried them yet, give them a go!

Man those look PERFECT. What kind of taters do you prefer?
Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg. -
Those do look great. Have you heard of an Air Fryer. I just got one and its great for fries and only uses 1 tablespoon of oil.

I tried that when it came out and didn't have your clear success! I'll give it another go. Russets as I recall. Nice post brother!Sandy Springs & Dawsonville Ga

Thx guys! @SmokeyPitt , the method calls for Yukon Golds. They absorb less oil apparently. @Tinyfish , I've never heard of those! I'll hafta look those up.

@Dyal_SC heres a pic of some I did in the air fryer.

It'd be my pleasure to smash these down my gullet. Nice work!

@Tinyfish Are you talking about the tfal actifry? The reviews were fairly bad so I never really considered it but I liked the idea and the fries in your picture are looking amazing!____________________Entrepreneurs are simply those who understand that there is little difference between obstacle and opportunity and are able to turn both to their advantage. •Niccolo Machiavelli -

Thanks @Dyal_SC, I was in the process of some leftover pulled pork and made some sweet/sour slaw with jalapeno and those fries looked great, so I jumped on it.
Fries came out superb, I'll do those again in a heartbeat and my Bride loved them with some really cheesy homemade blue cheese dressing. Thanks again @Dyal_SC, that'll be my go to in the future, sure topped off dinner.
