RECIPES: Follow basic user instruction when making these recipes in deep fryer.

Raw Fries

5-6 medium potatoes, peeled if desired

1.Cut each potato into ⅜-inch strips. Place in large bowl, cover with cold water. Allow to soak for 15 minutes, or until ready to fry, to remove surface starch.

2.Rinse; drain and dry thoroughly with paper toweling before adding to basket.

3.To cook, choose either the double fry or single fry method from below.

Double Fry

1.Fill fryer with oil to MAX level. Preheat covered fryer at 350° F with basket lowered until temperature light goes out.

2.Raise basket to DRAIN position. Open cover using oven mitt. Add raw fries. Do not add more than 1½ pounds of raw fries to basket to prevent boil-over when basket is lowered. Close cover and secure.

3.Slowly lower basket to COOK position. Cook 3 or 4 minutes until fries are cooked through, but not browned.

4.Raise basket to DRAIN position. Set temperature control to 375° F. When temperature light goes out, slowly lower basket to COOK position. Continue to cook 8 to 10 minutes to brown and crisp fries.

5.When fries are done, raise basket to DRAIN position to allow excess oil to drain off. Open cover using oven mitt. Attach handle securely to basket. Empty fries onto paper toweling to finish draining before serving. Season as desired. Makes 6 servings.
