RECIPES

Follow basic user instructions 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 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, with basket lowered, at 350º until temperature light goes out.

2.Lift basket to drain position, open cover; 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 to secure.

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