Twice-fried french fries. Heat the oil to 325=B0F. Scrub russet
potato, slice into sticks, dry. Fry for 4 minutes, remove. They'll be
barely colored. Increase temp to 375=B0F. Fry until golden brown,
drain on paper. Salt *and* pepper (ymmv). They'll be crispy on the
outside, fluffy on the inside.

You can re-use the oil to fry your fish (beer batter!) next. If you
fry the fish first, the french fries may not taste fresh.

Trouble is, the appliance is too small to handle realistic quantities
and is easily overloaded, making the temp drop too much. Someone who
deep fried a lot (and had counter space) probably would want a big
fryer for its convenience, especially the temp control. For occasional
deep frying, I most often use the wok. -aem
