Where I grew up there is a Drive-In with car hops and some of the best food you'll ever eat.  One of my favorites are their french fries.  Fast food or restaurant french fries are put to shame by Drive-Ins fries.  Yes, they are that good.  So naturally I needed to be able to make these fries at home.   It is so much easier than you would think.  With just a few simple steps you can enjoy drive-in style french fries anytime.

These would go great with some fish served with my 4 ingredient Tartar Sauce! Don't forget to check out my Pinterest boards!

Step one, peel and cut potatoes up into fries.  I don't like mine thick.  My fries were a bit smaller than my index finger.  Place cut up potatoes in a pot and add enough water to cover all the fries.  Allow the fries to soak for 10 minutes.

 Heat an oil of your choice to 375 degrees.  I usually use canola oil.  I also use a fry daddy which heats to the appropriate temperature on its own which is nice.

Drain the potatoes and pat them mostly dry.  This is important.  If you dump really wet fries into hot oil, the oil can bubble too much and overflow possibly causing a fire.  So, pat the fries mostly dry.

Fill the fryer basket a little more than half way, lower fries into the oil slowly and fry until they are golden brown.  It takes mine about 10 minutes.  Dump finished fries out into a paper towel lined dish and sprinkle with salt.  Enjoy with dipping sauces of your choosing!
