2 pounds Baking potatoes, cut into 1/2 inch thick, cubed strips
Crisco for frying
Seasoned salt


1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Blanch (boil) the potato strips in the water for 2 minutes.

2. Remove the potato strips from the water and set aside.

3. Meanwhile, heat about 2 inches of oil in deep fryer to 350°F.

4. Fry the potato strips, in small batches, for about 5 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels, and sprinkle with the seasoning salt as soon as they come out of the oil.

5. Cooking Tip: You can keep your cooked batches of fries hot while you are still frying the others by putting them in a preheated 250°F oven.
