Ingredients
  

  • 3 large potatoes Yukon Gold or Russet
  • Water
  • High temperature oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Peel the potatoes and then cut them up to around ¼” thickness on each side.
  • Soak the slices in cold water for around 1 to 3 hours.
  • Start preparing your smoker. It should be preheated to 250°F and both charcoal and wood chips are good options.
  • After the slices are done soaking, place them on the rack, with some distance between each fry.
  • Smoke the fries for exactly 1 hour and then let them cool to room temperature before starting the frying process.
  • Fry the French fries in small batches for 3 minutes and once all of them are done, set them aside for a while.
  • Raise the temperature of the oil to 375°F and deep fry the fries one more time, similarly in small batches and for 3 minutes per batch.
  • After taking them out, immediately place them on a cooling rack to get rid of the excess oil, and to get them ready for seasoning.
  • Season the fries as soon as they are out of the fryer and still hot to the touch. Seasoning can be done to your own preference, with either salt or pepper.
