Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Russet potatoes
- 3 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 cups Beef or chicken stock
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
Instructions
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into approximately 1/4-inch thick sticks to form fries.
Place the cut potatoes into a large bowl of cold water and soak for 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
Drain the potatoes and dry them thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel.
In a heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 325°F (165°C).
Working in small batches, fry the potatoes in the hot oil for 3-4 minutes, or until they are pale and limp. Remove them from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined tray.
Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C).
Refry the potatoes in small batches for 3-4 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove the fries from the oil, drain on paper towels, and season immediately with salt.
To prepare the gravy, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Add the flour to the melted butter, whisking constantly, and cook for 1-2 minutes until the mixture becomes a golden-brown roux.
Gradually whisk in the beef or chicken stock, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to cook and whisk until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
Season the gravy with black pepper and onion powder to taste.
Serve the hot French fries on a plate, generously ladled with the prepared gravy.
