Homemade French Fries (Cooks Illustrated)

From CI's America Test Kitchen...no variations to the recipe please...none at all!

1.  Use only Yukon Gold potatoes, don't remove the skin
2.  Slice into 1/4 x 1/4" planks
3. Place the fries into a pot and cover with room temp Peanut Oil and add some bacon grease for superior taste if available
4. Turn burner on high until the oil is boiling 

5. Start timer and don't touch the fries for 15 minutes!

6. After 15 minutes gently stir the fries frequently taking great care not to break the fries for an additional 10 minutes
7. Remove the fries to drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt, vinegar, Cayenne or whatever you want.
