Ingredients: 
Potatoes (russet or other starchy varieties)
Frying oil
Instructions: 
Cut the fries thick
Fry them for 6-7 minutes at 320 degrees
Fry them again at 375 degrees to crisp them up
Serve the Belgian way with mayonnaise and beer!

A favorite family recipe from Roger Doiron. “Belgium has the best fries in the world,” Doiron says. What’s their secret? They fry them twice.

(Doiron uses Maine Kennebec potatoes from his garden, but ideally you want to use something starchier like russet or, if you really want it to be Belgian fries, bintje, the most common fry variety in Belgium )
