Yeah i suppose Brian wont like the flavors lol. My food by the way tastes better than most girls' dishes that have ever cooked for me and only slightly worse than the rare best (the girls themselves of course always taste better than any food they ever made). Only mom tops everyone but hasnt cooked for me in years.
The french fries ought to have taken at least 6 hours.
Recipe:
Fill a big ass bowl filled with ice water with a little lemon juice (1/2 per gallon is good) in it.
Peel and cut russet potatoes into even sized sticks and plop them in the water as you are cutting them. You don't need to be a freak about getting them exactly the same size, but you want to be close. Thickness of each should be approximately that of a medium-sized woman's index finger at the middle knuckle.
Put big ass bowl of ice water, lemon and potatoes in the fridge.
Wait 1-2 hours.
Dump out bowl into a big ass strainer, preferably getting most of the potatoes into the strainer and all of the water into the sink.
Prepare another big ass bowl of ice water. No lemon this time. Put potatoes from the strainer into the bowl.
Put bowl in fridge, wait 1-2 hours.
Do the straining, putting potatoes back in bowl with new ice water one more time and wait 1-2 hours.
Dump potatoes into strainer, then place them on clean dish towels. The potatoes must not be touching so they can dry out.
Heat frying oil to 300 degrees Fahrenheit while you are waiting for the potatoes to dry.
Put small batches of the potatoes into the oil and fry for 4-5 minutes. You will have to pump up the heat to get the temperature of the oil back to 300. Remove each batch from the oil and let drain.
Crank up oil to 400 degrees and fry small batches until they are golden brown. Season each batch with salt as they come out.

Reason: 1/2 of a recipe is no recipe at all
