Belgian-Style Fries


Makes: 4 servings

Time: 2 hours



4 golden Yukon potatoes, sliced in 1/2” sticks

5 C vegetable oil


Thyme, chopped



1. Submerge sliced potatoes into a large bowl of iced water and allow to soak for 1 hour in the fridge.

2. Drain potatoes in a colander and run cold water over them until the water runs clear. Spread potatoes out on a baking sheet and pat completely dry with paper towels.

3. Heat oil in a heavy skillet until a fry thermometer reads 350 degrees. (If you don’t have a fry thermometer, use a test potato to check if the oil makes it bubble.) When oil is ready, fry potatos in 4 batches, until potatoes are just cooked through, 4 minutes. Remove to a cooling rack, and allow to cool 30 minutes.

4. Reheat oil and fry potatoes once more in 4 batches, until they are deep golden brown, an additional 3 minutes.  Remove back to cooling rack and drain of excess oil.

5. Season with salt and thyme and serve in a signature newspaper cone.
