Restaurant-style french fries are every potato lover's dream come true. These fries are made with russet potatoes, which are the best potatoes to use for fries as they have a high starch content and low moisture. The double frying process ensures that the fries are perfectly crispy and golden brown on the outside and fluffy on the inside. These fries are perfect as a snack or as a side dish to any meal. The added sugar and salt mixture at the end creates the perfect sweet and savory balance. These french fries are a must-try for any food lover!

Instructions

1.	Heat oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 325°F.
2.	Slice potatoes lengthwise into 1/4 inch sticks, then place them in a large bowl of cold water and let soak for at least 30 minutes.
3.	Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels.
4.	In small bowl, mix sugar and salt together and set aside.
5.	Fry the potatoes in batches, stirring occasionally, for about 5-6 minutes or until soft but not browned.
6.	Remove the fries from the oil and let them drain on a wire rack or paper towels.
7.	Increase the temperature of the oil to 375°F and fry the potatoes a second time for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
8.	Sprinkle the fries with the sugar and salt mixture while still hot and serve immediately.
