    I read some about the kennebec and it turned me on.

    Botanical characteristics

    • The Kennebec plant is non-pigmented, large and erect, with thick stems that are prominently angled.
    • Sprouts are grayish green with a slightly purple bottom.
    • The leaves are broad, long and dark green with slightly pubescent midribs.
    • Primarily the leaflets are ovate, large and grow in pairs of four. Secondary leaflets occur in a medium number. Tertiary leaflets occur very seldom, if at all. Terminally, the leaflets stay ovate and have acute tips and a lobed base.
    • Very few of the large white flowers emerge from the scantly pubescent green buds.
    • Tubers are medium thick with an elliptical to oblong shape. The skin is smooth and creamy with shallow eyes.

    Ah....so that's where the expression "sack of potatoes" comes from.  ;)

    @hondabbq with a potato recomendation . . YES!!  I will buy KENNEBEC, and I just did a search to see what this tater looks like.  Found link that seconds your post . . fries done right


    The article has most sentiments as in my post. The only thing I don't necessarily agree with is the soaking in water. I find you want the starch on the potato to give it that crispy outer skin, rinsing it away nullifies that from happening. You can try it both ways but I feel the non soaked fries will be crispier. We go straight from the chipper to the fryer.

    Some say to add sugar to the water to enhance the browning.

    @SaintJohnsEgger that will work . . but pot of oil above open flame is risky!  Just stay sober, and think carefully about your 4 kids, 3 dogs, 1 bird  ;)

    What about the 1 wife?   =)

    Thanks for the warning. I never considered the fire hazard of the oil over an open flame. I bet it could create an awesome flashback.
