HOMEMADE FRENCH FRIES

Steps:

• peel potatoes.
• boil in salted water for about 15 minutes just until potatoes are cooked on outside but still stiff.
• drain on paper towels.
• cut into slices with serated knife.
• deep fry in hot oil until brown and crispy.
• drain on paper towels.
• add salt.

HAND-CUT FRENCH FRIES

Steps:

• Leaving the skin on, cut the potatoes into long thin strips and put in a large bowl of clean water to remove some starch, prevent them from sticking together, and stop the oxidizing process.
• In a cast iron skillet fitted with a thermometer, or a small fryer, heat the oil until it reaches 275 to 300 degrees F. Remove the potatoes from the water and pat dry. Working in small batches, fry the potatoes until they go from shiny to matte, 3 to 5 minutes (this is also called blanching). Drain well on paper towels. Re-heat the oil until it reaches 350 degrees F and fry the potatoes again, also in small batches, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside but soft and chewy on the inside.
• Remove from the oil, drain well, and toss with sea salt and malt vinegar, or any other seasoning you prefer. You can also fry fresh herbs such as rosemary, sage, and thyme with the potatoes. Serve hot.

AIR FRYER FRENCH FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat an air fryer to 380 degrees F and spray the basket with nonstick spray.
• Cut the potato in half lengthwise, then into 1/4-inch slices. Cut the slices into 1/4-inch sticks. Put the fries in a medium bowl and rinse them well with cold water, then drain and pat dry with paper towels.
• Toss the fries with the oil in a medium bowl, then sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Working in batches if necessary, put the fries in an even layer in the air fryer basket with no overlapping and cook, turning them halfway through, until golden brown and crisp, 14 to 16 minutes. Remove and season with salt.

LITTLE PIECE OF HEALTHY HEAVEN BAKED FRENCH FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425.
• Wash potatoes and peel them if you like (I leave skins on for more crunch!) Cut potatoes in half lengthwise, and then in half lengthwise again. Cut into strips, as thin as possible. It's ok if some are a little thicker.
• Place cut up fries in a big ziploc bag and add olive oil. Shake to coat.
• In a small bowl, mix all spices, and then dump into bag. Shake to coat.
• Line 2 cookie sheets with foil. Spray lightly with cooking spray.
• Arrange fries in a single layer on sheets (don't overlap too much) and sprinkle grated parmesan all over potatoes. Put in preheated oven and bake for 30-45 minutes. You want them to turn golden brown with some crispy edges. 4-5 of them on the outside may turn darker but they are still extremely tasty and just cook faster than the ones in the middle. Watch them closely for desired texture! Just make sure the parm cheese starts to become a golden brown color and potatoes are cooked through!

HOMEMADE FRENCH FRIES WITHOUT DOUBLE FRYING

Steps:

• Wash and lightly peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into ⅓" - ½" thick slices and rinse them. Place the potatoes in a large bowl with 1 Tablespoon of salt. Cover with water and soak for 30 minutes.
• Drain and rinse the potato slices then pat as dry as possible with a clean towel.
• Add at least 4 inches of oil to a deep heavy bottomed pot. Clip a deep-frying thermometer to the side of the pot, and bring the oil temperature up to 375 degrees.
• Working in batches, carefully lower the potato slices into the hot oil. Let them fry for 6-10* minutes, or until golden brown on the outside and soft and tender inside. Remove them from the hot oil using a slotted spoon or spider strainer.
• Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Season with salt and serve with ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce.

FRENCH FRIES

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes and cut into 1cm-thick batons. Put into a bowl of cold water and leave to soak for at least 2 hrs to remove the starch from the potatoes - this will help them crisp while frying.
• Drain the potatoes well and pat dry with kitchen paper. Fill a deep pan no more than a third full with oil and heat to 140C, or until a cube of bread dropped in browns in 60 seconds. Fry the French fries in batches for 6 mins per batch until golden straw-coloured, cooked through and lightly crisp. Drain well on kitchen paper.
• Turn the heat up until the oil reaches 180C, or a cube of bread browns in 30 seconds. Fry the French fries again for 2-3 mins per batch until lightly golden and really crisp. Drain on kitchen paper and immediately season with sea salt.

HOMEMADE FRENCH FRIES

Steps:

• Wash and Scrub potatoes.
• Cut the potatoes into even strips. I find it easiest to cut each potato in half lengthwise and then cut strips. I leave the skin on the potatoes, but you're welcome to peel them first.
• Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl filled with cold water. Let the potatoes soak for 30 minutes, at room temperature.
• After 30 minutes, remove the potatoes from the water. Place the potatoes on a towel, and dry.
• At this point you have a choice: baking or frying.
• If you'd like to bake the fries, preheat the oven to 425F. Toss the potatoes with 1 TB of melted coconut oil. Scatter the oiled potatoes on a baking sheet (I prefer a baking stone, like this). One single layer of potatoes, please. This helps the fries bake evenly. Sprinkle with salt. Bake for 30 minutes, turning half way through baking.
• If you'd like to fry the fries, heat 4 TB coconut oil in a large saucepan (I use my cast iron skillet). Wait until the oil is hot to add the potatoes. Very carefully add a single layer of potatoes to the oil. Cook the potatoes for 4-5 minutes over medium to high heat, turning at the half way mark. Once cooked, place the fries on a paper-towel-covered plate and sprinkle with salt. Continue cooking the rest of the potatoes in the oil.
• Serve the fries warm. If desired, sprinkle with fresh herbs and dip in ketchup. My homemade ketchup recipe is coming to the blog next week.

PERFECT FRENCH FRIES

Steps:

• Peel and rinse the potatoes. Cut each potato lengthwise into 4 or 5 pieces, then cut each piece into sticks. The thinner these are, the crispier they will be. Place the fries in a large bowl. Cover with cold water, then allow them to soak 2 or 3 hours (or you can stick them in the fridge and let them soak overnight).
• When you're ready to make the fries, drain the water and lay the potatoes on 2 baking sheets lined with paper towels. Blot with paper towels to dry.
• Heat a few inches of vegetable oil to 300 degrees F in a heavy pot. In 3 or 4 batches, fry the potatoes about 4 to 5 minutes per batch, or until soft. They should not be brown at all at this point-you just want to start the cooking process. Remove each batch and drain them on new, dry paper towels.
• Once all the potatoes have been fried at 300 degrees F, turn up the heat until the oil temperature reaches 400 degrees F. When the oil is hot, start frying the potatoes in batches again, cooking until golden and crisp. Remove from the oil and drain on fresh paper towels. Sprinkle the fries with sea salt and dive in with the ketchup-mayo mixture.

HEALTHY FRENCH FRIES

• Slice the pototoes into thin rectangles that look like french fries.
• Toss with olive oil.
• Put in baking pan and lightly salt.
• Bake at 400 for 30 minutes.
• About halfway through baking time flip the french fries over to crisp on both sides. With about five minutes left I turn the broiler on to crisp up the fries more.
• Once done I like to put in a bowl with paper towels to drain some of the oil.
• Enjoy.

PERFECT FRENCH FRIES

Steps:

• Peel and rinse the potatoes. Then cut them into sticks by cutting the potato in 4 or 5 vertical pieces, and then cutting each piece into sticks.
• Place them in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Allow them to soak, 2 to 3 hours. (You can also stick them in the fridge and let them soak overnight.)
• When you're ready to make the fries, drain off the water and lay the potatoes on 2 baking sheets lined with paper towels. Blot with paper towels to dry them.
• Heat a few inches of oil in a heavy pot to 300 degrees F. In 3 or 4 batches, cook the potatoes until soft, 4 to 5 minutes per batch. They should not be brown at this point! You just want to start the cooking process. Remove each batch and drain on new/dry paper towels.
• Once all the potatoes have been fried at 300 degrees F, turn up the heat until the oil reaches 400 degrees F. When the oil's hot, start frying the potatoes in batches again, cooking until the fries are golden and crisp. Remove the potatoes from the oil and drain on paper towels.
• Sprinkle with sea salt and dive in!
