You Will Need
Directions
Peel 3 medium/large potatoes
Slice each potato into sections (As Shown)
If you cut each potato slice a quarter inch thick, this cut should also be a quarter inch thick, to give the fry even dimensions. Keep your cut fries in cold water with a TBSP lemon Juice to keep potatoes from oxidation and browning. It will not change the taste.
Cut onion in half and then slice add to potatoes
Preheat pan with butter and oil, place onion and potatoes (salt and pepper) into frying pan when butter melts. Set your timer for 5 min (don't turn until your timer goes off)
After your first 5 min, turn potatoes over, and reset timer for another 5 min (do this 4 times) 5 if you like really crispy potatoes. )
Remove potatoes, into a paper toweled bowl and salt and pepper to taste

Place the potato on its side and using a large chef’s knife, cut a thin slice off the edge to serve as a flat base.
Flip the potato cut side down and cut thin slices; make them the width you’d like your french fries.
Stack a few of the slices, then cut them in the other direction to create French fries
Why do you soak French fries in water before frying?
The reason is to prevent the potatoes exposure to air, which causes dehydration, oxidation, and discoloration. Immersing cut potatoes will also help rinse off excess starch.
