Homemade French Fries Recipe

Introduction

French fries are a beloved snack and side dish worldwide. Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, these golden strips of deliciousness are a perfect accompaniment to burgers, sandwiches, or enjoyed on their own. Making French fries at home is easier than you might think. Here’s a simple recipe to create perfect fries every time.

Ingredients

  • 4 large russet potatoes
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • Salt, to taste

Method

  1. Prepare the Potatoes:

    • Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into thin, even strips about 1/4 inch thick. You can use a mandoline slicer for consistent cuts.
    • Place the potato strips in a bowl of cold water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps in making them crispy. For best results, soak for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
  2. Dry the Potatoes:

    • Drain the soaked potatoes and rinse them under cold water. Pat them dry thoroughly using paper towels or a clean kitchen towel. Ensuring they are completely dry is crucial to avoid splattering when frying.
  3. First Fry (Blanching):

    • Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large, heavy-bottomed pot to 325°F (160°C).
    • Fry the potatoes in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 3-4 minutes until they are soft but not brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  4. Cool the Fries:

    • Let the blanched fries cool completely. You can place them in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to speed up the process. This step helps in achieving the perfect crispy texture during the second fry.
  5. Second Fry:

    • Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C).
    • Fry the potatoes again in batches until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  6. Season and Serve:

    • Immediately sprinkle the hot fries with salt to taste. Toss them gently to ensure even seasoning.
    • Serve the French fries hot with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup, mayonnaise, or aioli.

Tips for Perfect Fries

  • Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are ideal due to their high starch content.
  • Consistent size: Ensure all potato strips are of the same size for even cooking.
  • Double frying: This technique ensures a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior.
  • Proper drying: Completely drying the potatoes before frying is key to avoiding soggy fries.

Enjoy your homemade French fries! With this simple method, you can savor restaurant-quality fries right in your kitchen.
