The pleasantly different French fries

If possible, use medium-sized, clean, washed, and brushed potatoes and cook them in their skins. Allow to cool and store in the air, ideally for a day; do not reuse freshly cooked potatoes. Then cut the potatoes into bite-sized fries. Cut medium-sized potatoes into slices twice, then cut the slices twice more, leaving the skins on. Heat the oil in a deep frying pan or wok over high heat; when bubbles form on a wooden spoon, it’s at the right temperature. Add the potatoes to the hot oil (careful, it might splatter!) and fry over high heat until they reach the desired color. Remove the farmhouse potatoes from the oil with a slotted spoon, drain briefly on kitchen paper, season with salt to taste, and serve immediately while hot.
