2. In bowl place the french fries in room temperature water for 5 minute. this will clean and take out the excess starch from the fries.

3. After 5 minutes take them out and path dry with Scott Towels.

4. Pour water in medium size pot about 3/4 full.. Bring to a boil and add 1/2 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of corn syrup.. Let boil for about 2 minutes. After 2 minutes shut the heat so the water stops boiling and add the fries in the hot water for 10 minutes. The potatoes will absorb all the sweetness of the sugar and corn syrup..
