Homemade French Fries Recipe
This homemade French fries are made by peeling and cutting potatoes into thin strips, then frying them in hot oil until crispy and golden. After draining excess oil, season the fries with salt and any other desired spices.
Equipment
- 1 Large Bowl
- 1 Sharp Knife
- 1 Large Pan
Ingredients
- 2 Ib Floury Potatoes
- 2 Tbsp White Vinegar
- 1 Tbsp Kosher's Salt
- 1 Litre Vegetable Oil
- 1 Tbsp Rosemary Salt
Instructions
- Perfectly cut your potatoes in slices and rinse with cold water and let it simmer for 5-10 minutes in vinegar and salt water. Or you can soak the potato slices in cold water for at least 30 minutes.
- Remove from water and let them dry with a paper towel. Make sure to completely dry, and if you want more crispy texture, then sprinkle some cornflour on your potatoes.
- Take a large pan, heat the oil, and place your fries into hot oil for 3-4 minutes. Remove from the pan and remove the excess oil. Increase the temperature of the oil, then again fry until it becomes golden brown.
- Season your fries with rosemary salt, and your favourite garlic with parmesan cheese. Now your homemade French fries are ready to serve!!
Notes
1) Make sure the oil is fully heated before adding the fries. Dropping your fries into lukewarm oil can make them soggy instead of crispy.
2) After cutting your fries, soaking them in cold water is essential to remove excess starch from potatoes.
3) Don't overcrowd the pan for frying. Fry in small batches to maintain the oil temperature, and your fries cook evenly.
4) Adding a small amount of sugar to the soaking water can help give the fries a nice golden- brown color when frying.
