Cooking with the Kovatches: French Fries

French Fries

Billy got a fryer for Christmas. Honestly, the eleven year old boy was demonstrably excited about getting a fryer.

Well, a fryer begs to be used. So, first, let's try French fries.

I got a bag of Russett potatoes. Started with two. Heated vegetable oil up to 350 degrees. Sliced the potatoes.

Put the potato slices in the basket. Submerged the potatoes for 4 minutes. Take them out. Let them sit to drain the oil. Put in a bowl. Added salt for flavor.

Voila. French fries.

About Us

I am Bill Kovatch. Up until a few years ago, I wasn't much of a cook. I could do some simple things. There was a point in my life when I had to avoid red meat, so I knew a few specialty chicken dishes. But nothing much beyond that.

A few years ago, I took a greater interest in gardening and cooking. I started trying more things in the kitchen. My daughter, Judy, and I watched the Food Network together. She had already shown an interest in cooking. But, I would say that much of what I learned about cooking came from the Food Network.

Cooking became something that I could share with the kids. Judy would help. Then her brother, Billy, wanted to help out as well. The teenager, Erik, became our guinea pig.

A funny thing happened. The food turned out to be pretty good. No, I don't claim to be an expert. I certainly will admit to needing more work on technique. Sometimes the experiments don't work out. To that end, I welcome comments on how to improve. I hope this blog becomes a way we can share and learn more about our cooking.
