I made hashbrowns the other morning (cut with my mandoline on the julienne setting) and they turned out SO deliciously. I think I might have to be careful about keeping potatoes around.... or I might BECOME a potato! <br>Wonder what the ice bath does. I might try it out and see if it's magical for me too.

My husband's grandmother swears by an ice water bath just first and I don't know what it does but it does seem to have some sort of invisible magic power over the fries!! Glad to see you are eating again!!! I just learned this method myself a few months ago and found it also works extremel well with homemade potatoe chips.

I just wanted the extra wetness and "juice" gone from the outside so the hot grease wouldn't spit at me! haha wrapping the fries in a towel hardly equates to dehydrating them or something – they cook just fine.

This is why if the oil isn't hot enough there's no sizzle, and you'll also get greasy fries. This is also why you shouldn't be too diligent in removing the moisture.

Woohoo! And congratulations on your baby!! I'm a long-time reader and this is the first time I've commented, but I wanted to say how delighted I am for you. I tried one of your old recipes the other night (tomato pie) and it was so delicious. Thanks for posting! You're eating again! Woohoo! And congratulations on your baby!!
