Pan Fries (Not Using Fryers!)

Sometimes, people cannot afford to buy a fryer but for this french fry recipe all you need is a pan.
Potatoes take too long to make and burn to easily. The first problem was the oven. Potatoes always take a long time to bake, so that had to be eliminated. Second was that they burnt too easily, so it had to be fast and easy to check on and remove when perfect. The only answer was to fry them in a pan. This recipe is very simple. It works well with regular potatoes (the ones meant for frying work best) and doesn't have to be long fries, home fries can be made along with hash browns.

NOTE: First, when you add the oil to the pan, add a little bit of old, used oil. This will help make the fries brown evenly and be fluffy on the inside. The second is that the oil needs to be at 350-375 degrees before the fries can be added.The oil should foam when they are added.

The part that has the most choice is choosing what kind of potato you want (sweet potato, regular, fries, homefries (cubes) hash browns, skin, no-skin).

Steps:
-First wash and cut the potato in half.
-Then into quarters. Once in quarters, carefully chop into the desired size
-Next thing you need to do is to take your pan and add either vegetable oil or butter to it, a few table spoons of either will do. This choice is a health thing, but also a taste.
-After that, heat the pan on medium heat, and toss your fries in. KEEP an eye on them, and FLIP EVERY few minutes, this will ensure even cooking.
-After about 10 minutes they will start to brown a little, and usually are done after about 15 minutes. -Keep and eye on them and remove when golden brown.
