Fire up the deep fat fryer, or heat a cooking pot, filled roughly half-way with Sunflower Oil to 110℃ (236℉)
Peel 750g of White Potatoes, and chop them into long thin fries, around 1cm wide, and the length of the potato
Once chopped to the desired size, give the spuds a good old rinse in a colander, then dry off with a clean teatowel
When the oil is sitting comfortably at 110℃, throw in enough potatoes so that they have space to float around, (If the basket is too full, they won't cook properly) and fry for exactly 10 minutes
After 10 minutes, give the half-cooked fries a big shake, and transfer to a baking tray to cool. Meanwhile, you can continue to part cook any further batches of french Fries you require
Once cool, place your big tray of fries in the freezer, and leave them there until they become solid. If the pang of hunger is too much, you can skip this step, however, they will not be quite as crispy
When hungry, crank the deep fat fryer to 190℃ (375℉), then when it has fully heated throw in a batch of frozen French Fries, making sure not to overcrowd the basket. Cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown
Season with a little salt, and serve
