Brabant Potatoes
Serves 4

4 pounds Idaho potatoes, peeled
4 cups vegetable oil, for frying
1 teaspoons salt

Cut each potato into an even rectangular shape by cutting off the
bottom, top, and sides, then cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Put in a
medium, heavy saucepan and add enough water to cover. Bring to a
boil and cook until the potatoes are slightly tender, about 10
minutes.  Remove from the heat and drain on paper towels.  Heat the
oil in a large, deep, heavy pot or an electric deep fryer to 360
degrees F. Add the potatoes and fry, turning to brown evenly, for
3 to 4 minutes.  Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt,
and serve hot.

Notes: Try using the refrigerated hash browns, the cubed kind not
the shredded ones. They come in a bag and are in the dairy case of
the supermarket. Bring to room temperature before you put in your
deep fry.
