First ya need med red potatos , slice them as your would make a potato chip but 1/4 thick them cut them into 4's . It Doesn't matter having the best oil on the market if you want gruncky fries, it does depend on the temp of the oil , turn your cooker up as hi as it goes and make sure when putting the fries into the basket they arn't setting in the oil already . place the potatos in the basket on you countertop then gently after the basket is full put them into the boiling oil VERY SLOWELY is a must or you could burn yourself. For extra taste add melted cheese . put cheese in small pieces in a micro safe bowl add a little milk and microwave for 1 minute, stir and re micro 1 minute untill chees is melted .
I have friends that come to bbq's throught the year and bring red potatos so i'll make fries . alway use the red potatos for best taste.
Good luck and enjoy .
alway use causion when using a deep fryer no matter what you cook in them .
