      Yield: 3 Servings
 
MMMMM---------------------------BRINE--------------------------------
      8 c  Cold water
    1/2 c  Corn syrup
      3 tb Salt
      1 ts White vinegar

MMMMM---------------------------FRIES--------------------------------
      6 lg Russet potatoes; 4.5 lb
      1 qt Oil
    1/2 c  Vegetable shortening
           Salt
 
  Combine the brine ingredients and set aside.
  
  Peel and rinse that potatoes.
  
  Slice them into strings just under 1/2". (A french fry
  potato cutter makes this easy.)
  
  Place them in the cold brine as you slice them. Ensure
  the potatoes are completely submerged. Add more cold
  water if needed.
  
  Cover and place the brine in the fridge for 2 hours or
  overnight.
  
  Drain and rinse them twice with cold water. Pat them
  completely dry.
  
  Heat oil to 300+|F/150+|C. A dutch oven and oil
  thermometer is very helpful.
  
  Fry the potatoes in batches for about 5 minutes. Remove
  with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towels. They
  will be very soft. (This is a good thing.)
  
  Add the vegetable shortening and increase the heat to
  400+|F/205+|C. Fry in batches again until golden brown.
  (It's hard to be patient during this part.)
  
  Remove and place on paper towels. Season with salt
  right away and serve!
