This was a super easy recipe to make and turned out great. IMPORTANT NOTE: I saw a review where the reviewer changed the oil and that may have been the fatal flaw. There are certain criteria that an oil must meet to be properly used for frying. While olive oil is healthier, it is not a recommended substitute for an oil with a higher smoking point such as peanut oil, vegetable oil or sunflower oil. If you don't have peanut oil at home, you may like to refer to the chart on this website - fitfrying dot com forward slash select-the-right-oil dot html -to get an idea of acceptable oils for frying.

I am always looking for a recipe to improve on my mistakes. I actually followed this recipe to a "T". It was very disappointing that I had my whole dinner based on the fries. This recipe does not work. I did not have peanut oil, substituted with olive oil. I dont think the oil "type" will drastically change the results. And I say it because I have tried to "Fry" in all kinds of oils. By that I mean the healthiest wise and even to the way we do in the south. So tonight for my dinner it was time consuming and not meeting to the results expected. Like I have done before, just with one time frying then to the oven will be easier, faster and healthier. Emerill let me down on this one. They will be crunchy in the oven with less time and easier to get the dinner ready.

These are the best home made fries I've ever had/. 1/4 inch batons is important. Thicker fries won't be as crispy, and they do need to be served immediately.

These french fries came out crispy but turned soggy in our plate. Good thing my family don't mind soggy fries. Will not make these again.

Used canola oil in my deep fryer. Followed directions as given and then used a light sprinkling of seasoning blend. I prefer Mortons but your favorite will probably work as well. BEST HOMEMADE FRENCH FRIES I EVER MADE. Guests RAVED About them. Thank you Emeril.

I used red potatoes. Not as crispy as I would have liked but still good if seasoned correctly.
