PawPaw's or Cajun French Fries

These french fries are absolutely delicious.  My father, James Joseph Paul Daigle "invented" them and they are the best french fried potatoes you will ever  eat!
Bon Appetit!

Ingredients

3 red potatoes, washed, peeled and cut length-wise
1 quart of vegetable or corn  oil
black pepper and salt

Instructions

Fill a small cast iron or black iron pot 1/2 full with cooking oil.
Pack the cut potatoes tightly in the cold oil
making sure that the oil covers the potatoes.
Turn the heat on the high setting.

In a few minutes it will begin to bubble.
Lower the heat to the medium setting.

Move the potatoes gently around with a slotted spoon
so they will not bubble over.
When they are golden brown, remove and drain on paper.

Sprinkle immediately with black pepper and salt. 

Note: These potatoes will be crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and is in the Roux, Simple Cajun Recipes Cookbook on page 12.
Bon Appetit!
