Drive-in style french fries are to die for! Their crispy, golden outsides with soft, potato-y insides make any dinner something special!
Where I grew up, there is a Drive-In with car hops and some of the best food you'll ever eat. Â One of my favorites is their french fries. Â Fast food or restaurant french fries are put to shame by Drive-Ins fries. Â Yes, they are that good. Â So naturally, I needed to be able to make these fries at home. Â It is so much easier than you would think. Â 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. Â I don't like mine thick. Â My fries were a bit smaller than my index finger. Â Place cut-up potatoes in a pot and add enough water to cover all the fries. Â Allow the fries to soak for 10 minutes.
Heat an oil of your choice to 375 degrees. Â I usually use canola oil. Â 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. Â This is important. Â If you dump really wet fries into hot oil, the oil can bubble too much and overflow, possibly causing a fire. Â 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!
