REAL FRENCH FRIES 
This is the real deal, not healthy "oven prepared" stuff. These are the ones you remember from your childhood. Not something that you'd eat every day, but best saved for special occasions.

2 lb. russet potatoes
1 quart peanut oil, for frying
malt vinegar
Lawry's seasoned salt

Heat peanut oil in a deep fryer, wok, or electric frying pan at it's highest temperature. It might start to smoke, but that's OK.

Slice up potatoes into 3/8x3/8-inch pieces length-wise and place into some water. If you're not going to make them immediately, add some "Fruit Fresh" (ascorbic acid) to keep them from turning brown. Don't peel them unless the peels are too tough.

Drain in a colander and carefully add them to the hot oil. Fry about 15 minutes, or until the color looks right to you. I like them medium-brown.

Drain on paper towels and serve with malt vinegar and seasoned salt.
