Ingredients
• 4
large Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
• 3–4
cups of vegetable oil (depending on the size of your fryer)
• Salt
to taste
• (Optional)
For flavor: garlic powder, paprika, dried herbs, or grated Parmesan
Instructions
1. Prep the Potatoes
Leave the skins on for that rustic homemade
look. Slice potatoes evenly into ¼-inch sticks for even cooking.
Soak these in cold water for 20-30 minutes
to remove excess starch, which is the secret to keeping your fries crisp, not
soggy.
2. Preheat the Oil
Heat oil to 325 °F (163 °C) in a deep pot
or fryer. You can find a kitchen thermometer on Amazon to perfectly monitor the
temperature.
3. First Fry (Blanching)
Drain and thoroughly dry potatoes with a
clean kitchen towel-any moisture will cause the oil to splatter.
Fry potatoes in small batches for
approximately 3-4 minutes. They should feel soft to the touch but not browned.
Transfer them out onto a rack or cool
completely on a tray lined with paper towels.
4. Second Fry (Crisping)
Increase oil temperature to 375 °F (190
°C).
Cook cooled fries in hot oil for 2-3
minutes, just until golden and crunchy.
Drain again on a cooling rack set over a
tray.
5. Season and Serve
Salt immediately while they are still hot.
Our little secret: toss with garlic,
paprika, chili flakes, or parmesan for extra flavor.
Dig in right away with an irresistibly
crispy bite with ketchup, ranch, or garlic aioli.
Pro Tips for the Perfect French Fries
• Pre-soaking:
Removes starch, making fries crispier.
• Double
frying: The first frying cooks; the second fries.
• Don't
overcrowd: This ensures even cooking because of small batches.
• Keep
oil clean: For best results, strain it between batches.
• Use
good tools: The difference between a good fry and a great-tasting fry depends
on a well-working deep fryer, cooling rack, and thermometer.
