Where I grew up, there is a Drive-In with car hops and some of the best food you'll ever eat. ย One of my favorites is their french fries. ย Fast food or restaurant french fries are put to shame by Drive-Ins fries. ย Yes, they are that good. ย So naturally, I needed to be able to make these fries at home. ย  It is so much easier than you would think. ย 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. ย I don't like mine thick. ย My fries were a bit smaller than my index finger. ย Place cut-up potatoes in a pot and add enough water to cover all the fries. ย Allow the fries to soak for 10 minutes.

Heat an oil of your choice to 375 degrees. ย I usually use canola oil. ย 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. ย This is important. ย If you dump really wet fries into hot oil, the oil can bubble too much and overflow, possibly causing a fire. ย So, pat the fries mostly dry.

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