The first thing you need is an electric fry-pan ! It is hard to find in other countries ! During our 2-years stay in St.Louis , I missed it so much ! I couldn't take my own with me , because electricity is different in the USA ( the "hertz" too!) . I had a transformer and used this on my Belgian mixer , but it broke after 3 uses !!
Can you guess what I ate first on the day we returned to Belgium ???![]()

But for anybody who has access to such a fryer , this is my secret :
First peel the potatoes . Then dry them in a towel!!!
Cut the potatoe in layers of about 1 cm thick
Then make fries of about 1cm again ;
These must all be put in a kitchen towel and dired very well !!! Is VERY important . If you don't do this , they will all stick together!!
Then you bake the fries (not to many at one time!!) in oil of about 130°C for about 3 to 4 minutes .OH yes , that fryer of us contains about 3,5 liter of oil . They may NOT turn golden yet!!
Let them drip dry
Bake them again in oil at 180°C untill they turn golden brown . Drip dry on kitchen-paper and serve !!
YUMMIE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We eat it with a good steak!!
I will take pics of the whole procedure next time I bake fries !! Promise !!
