Ingredients
Makes 6 servings
6 russet potatoes
peanut oil for deep frying
¾ cup corn syrup
beef fond if you are making burgers (if not use 1 cup beef tallow)
Procedure
Preheat peanut oil to 375F.
Peel potatoes.
Chop into fries, big or small according to taste; make them consistent in size either way.
Add corn syrup to water.
Soak potatoes in mixture and chill for 30 minutes.
Pat dry fries with a paper towel.
Fry in peanut oil for about 90 seconds to reduce starch.
Drain on a tray with paper towels.
Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
*After cooking your burgers add some water to the pan while hot to reduce the fond, then add it to the oil, otherwise add tallow.
Fry until golden brown.
Strain and season with salt fresh from the oil.
Enjoy!
*Only works well with cast iron or stainless steel
