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.

LOW FAT TATERS (BREADED FRENCH FRIES)

Steps:

• Wash the potatoes, scrubbing well to remove all of the dirt; don't bother skinning them.
• Cut the potatoes into wedges and let soak in water for at least 15 minutes, preferably longer. Change the water once if desired, but note that while changing the water gets rid of more starch, it can impact flavour as well.
• Combine egg white and seasonings (excluding flour) in a large bowl.
• Drain the potatoes, pat dry and put them in the bowl with the egg mixture.
• Coat all fries with the egg white and seasoning mix, ensuring a good coverage.
• Coat the fries with a light coating of flour, rotating and mixing as needed to try and make it an even coat.
• Prep a baking sheet with a light coating of vegetable oil, and spread the fries out as evenly as possible.
• Coat the top of the fries with vegetable spray and bake for 35 to 45 minutes or until golden brown.
