French Fries

A delicious accompaniment which is so popular in many parts of the world. Although this is quite popular, it is considered not so healthy. To me the reason is double frying. This is a great accompaniment to Burgers, makes a great evening snack. Serve it with ketchup and you cannot stop with one!!

Oil - to Fry
Corn Starch - 1 table spoon
