💛 Omega-3 Breakdown (the good stuff)
📝 The Recipe
**Ingredients:**
* 4 large Russet potatoes
* 4 cups **Virgin I Love Camelina®** oil (for frying)
* 1 tsp salt, or to taste
**Instructions:**
1. Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into ¼-inch thick sticks. For best results, use a mandoline or a fry cutter.
2. Rinse the potato sticks thoroughly in cold water to remove excess starch. This is crucial for achieving crispy fries. Pat them completely dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
3. Heat the **Virgin I Love Camelina®** oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot, Dutch oven, or deep fryer to 325°F (160°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature accurately.
4. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, carefully add a portion of the potato sticks to the hot oil. Fry for 5-7 minutes, until the potatoes are soft and slightly cooked through, but not yet browned. This is the first fry.
5. Remove the partially cooked fries from the oil with a slotted spoon or spider and drain them on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Let them cool completely for at least 15-30 minutes, or even refrigerate them for longer to firm up.
6. Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C).
7. Return the cooled fries to the hot oil (again, in batches if necessary) and fry again for 2-4 minutes, or until they are golden brown and perfectly crispy.
8. Remove from the oil, drain briefly on paper towels to remove excess oil, and immediately transfer to a large bowl. Season generously with salt while hot.
9. Serve your delicious, omega-3 rich **French Fries** immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
