                          Homemade French Fries

                                                                Ingredients
                                                                                           -Salt
                                                                                         -Pepper 
                                                                                        -Potatoes
                                                                                        -Garlic Salt
                                                                                      -Vegetable Oil
                                                                                 -Parmesan Cheese
                                                                                          -Parsley


                                                                                       Directions
             In large skillet, heat almost 1/3-1/2 bottle of vegetable oil. Meanwhile, wash and peel the potatoes leaving the tips of the potatoes with the peel still on. Place all the potatoes in a bowl with cold ice water in it to remove some of the "starchy-ness" of the potato. Individually cut the potatoes length wise into french fry shapes. Place back in ice water. Once finished cutting the remaining potatoes, drain the water very well. Leaving too much water on the potatoes can cause the oil to not fry them properly or cause the oil to be too cool to fry. Season the uncooked french fries with salt, pepper, and garlic salt. Place the potatoes in the skillet and fry for 5-10 minutes or until golden brown and crunchy. Using tongs, make sure you rotate the french fries around as they are cooking. As soon as the fries are cooked to your liking, using a strained spoon pull them out and place them on a paper towel to drain the oil. Immediately sprinkle with garlic salt, parmesan cheese (lots of it!) and parsley. Doing it right when it comes out of the oil helps it to stick better to the french fries. Top off with additional salt and pepper if needed. You can also substitute seasonings to it and add bacon and cheese instead like the picture below. Enjoy :)
