What kind of salt, Kosher or Sea salt, should I use to soak my fresh-cut French fries in before frying?
Soaking cut French fries prior to cooking in salt water, using any type of salt, is not recommended. This may seem like a helpful method and can infuse a slight flavor, however, salt is a big factor to the fry oil breaking down prematurely. Keep in mind that cooking oil is by far more costly than anything else in the French fry making process, so I suggest saving the salt for post-frying.
