    Deep fried potatoes, which in the US usually go by the misnomer "French fries", have suffered from association with fast food and the modern aversion to deep fried foods in general, but a well-made batch of pommes frites is one of the tastiest ways to prepare potatoes. And while they will never qualify as health food, if made properly and eaten in moderation, they fit perfectly well in a well-balanced diet. Fried potatoes are, quite simply, just that: potatoes deep fried in fat. But as simple as the recipe is, there are a few 'tricks' to ensure that they come out at their best.

    • Russets or other 'starchy' potatoes
    • Oil for deep frying
    • Lard (optional)
    • Salt
