Fries a la Jeanette

A quick recipe shared by an adorable friend of mine, over a lunch that was way too short, while our children pretended to be robots.

Place potatoes (russet, Yukon, sweet, etc.) in the microwave, covered.  Steam 3 to 5 minutes to remove the excess water from them.  Pat dry, then hand toss to coat in 1 tbsp oil mixed with 1 tbsp organic, non gmo corn starch and 1 tsp salt.  Meanwhile, in oven, have a large cookie sheet with 5 tbsp veggie oil heating until it smokes.  Carefully place fries in the oil.  Cook for .... then turn and cook for ..... 

Crispy fries.  Is there anything better?
