Ingredients
One Potato
Directions
This requires a big Dutch oven and a good candy thermometer.
Peel a potato. Cut it into chunks. Put the chunks in a big Pyrex measuring cup, fill it with cold water to cover the cubes and put it in the refrigerator while you do something else.
After an hour or so (up to several hours), par-boil the potatoes. Start them in cold water, bring the water to a boil and boil about 5 minutes, until the cubes are soft but not mushy.
Drain the cubes and let them rest in the colander and dry out a bit. Give them a toss every once in a while.
Heat the oil in a Dutch Oven to 370 degrees. Lower the cubes into the hot oil carefully. Fry until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Salt to taste.
