Twice-Cooked Rustic Fries

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

2. 2

   Wash and gently scrub potatoes under cold running water to remove any excess dirt and thick skin.

3. 3

   Poke with a fork to make holes all over - this allows the moisture to escape while baking.

4. 4

   Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil, season with salt and place into preheated oven.

5. 5

   Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until a paring knife goes through cleanly but the potato is still firm to touch.

6. 6

   Remove from oven and allow to cool so you can handle them.

7. 7

   Cut into large wedges and lay out in a single layer to dry slightly before dusting with a little potato starch.

8. 8

   Turn them over and dust again.

9. 9

   Heat some oil in a large pot to 350 degrees F.

10. 10

    Fry the potatoes in batches for 5 to 7 minutes until golden brown.

11. 11

    Drain on paper towels and season with salt immediately.
