Homemade french fries

I had a hankering for really good fries for a steak fries combo. I found the longest russet at the grocery store and hand cut it, then heated my light olive frying oil up close to smoke and fried for about 2 minutes. Seasoned with some coarse salt, chopped fresh rosemary and thyme and black pepper. Delicious with the beef.

The calorie counting on this is tricky since cc doesn't have a food entry for hand cut fresh French fries. There is an entry for oreida 3/8" straight cut fries showing 120 calories for 3 oz, which is close enough for me.

What's surprising is that this only used up about a quarter of the potato, so the rest of the uncooked fries are in salt water for a few more meals.
