Perfect French Fries

5 large Russet potatoes, peeled or well scrubbed, if leaving leaving the skin on
1 quart peanut oil
Kosher salt

Ingredients

1. Cut the potatoes lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices, then cut each slice lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick fries. Put the fries in a large bowl of cold water and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours.

2. Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed medium stockpot over medium heat, or in a tabletop deep fryer, to 325° F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels and set aside.

3. Drain the fries well and pat dry in batches with paper towels. Fry each batch, turning frequently, for 3 to 4 minutes or until the fries are a pale blond color and limp. Remove with a mesh skimmer to the baking sheet lined with paper towels.

4. Increase the heat of the oil to 375° F.

5. Fry the potatoes again, in batches, turning frequently, until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove with the skimmer and drain on clean paper towels. Season immediately with salt and serve hot.

Seasonal Recipe: Eton Mess

clipper's remarks: Eton Mess is a lovely, versatile dessert: It's light, yet very satisfying, and appeals to both young and sophisticated palates. Served in bowls, it makes a nice casual family dessert or spoon it into vintage champagne glasses as a elegant finale to a fine dinner.

But how does it taste? Consider this: the sweet-tartness of strawberries surrounded by lush, cool whipped cream and punctuated by crunchy-chewy bits of crumpled meringue. The perfect marriage of taste and texture, especially if you've found a source for ruby red local berries.

Eton Mess is a classic British dessert.

Many Eton Mess recipes call for homemade meringues and you can certainly go there it you want. But I was very happy with a store bought version, specifically a tub of Trader Joe's Vanilla Meringues. It's also traditional to use strawberries but it's worth experimenting with other fruits such as raspberries, blueberries, passionfruit, currants, blackberries...

Eton Mess

1 quart of strawberries, hulled and sliced into thick chunks

A few tablespoons of sugar

1 pint whipping cream

12-15 Trader Joe's Vanilla Meringues, or any other smallish (2") meringues

Toss the strawberries in the sugar and set them aside to macerate for at least one hour, up to eight hours.

Whip the cream until it starts to thicken. You don't want to whip it until it is stiff--it should hold soft peaks when the whisk is lifted from the bowl.

Reserve about 1 cup of berries for the garnish and fold the remaining berries (with all their delicious juice) into the whipped cream with a few light strokes. Crumple the meringues into the bowl, making sure to have some chunks and some fine powder.

Fold the mixture gently a few more times. You don't want to deflate the cream.

Serve in bowls or pretty stemmed glasses, garnishing the top with the reserved berries for a lovely bright red splash.
