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.

HOW TO MAKE FRENCH FRIES

Steps:

• Heat oil in large skillet on medium-high heat.
• Scrub potatoes. Peel them if you like. Stand each potato on end, and slice in half. Slice each half in half again. (Watch your fingers.) Lay the quarters on top of each other, and cut into thin strips. If you can't get the quarters to lay together, just slice each one individually. No biggie.
• Check to see if your oil is hot enough by dipping the end of one fry in it. If the oil bubbles up and makes noise, the oil is ready. Put about a quarter of the fries in at a time. Cook until they turn the color that you like. Some people like soft fries, other crispy. Go with what looks good to you.
• While the fries are cooking, get a plate ( a real one, not paper or plastic) and place about four paper towels on it.
• When the fries are done, put them on the paper towels to drain. Put the skillet back on the heat, and let it heat back up. Put the next batch of fries in the oil. Salt the finished batch of fries. Add more paper towels on top of the fries.
• Eat and enjoy!

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.

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.

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!

CLASSIC FRENCH FRIES

• In a large dutch oven heat oil to 320 degrees.
• Peel potatoes and EVENLY cut fries into 1/4" x 1/4" strips of equal length.
• Place in a large bowl of cold water as you're slicing.
• Drain potatoes thoroughly, removing any excess water.
• When oil reaches 320 degrees, submerge the potatoes in the oil.
• Working in small batches, fry for 2 to 3 minutes until they are pale and floppy.
• Remove from oil, drain, and cool to room temperature.
• Increase the temperature of the oil to 375 degrees.
• Re-immerse fries and cook until crisp and golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes.

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.
