Crispy French Fries
Ingredients
Large Potatoes – 3
Salt
Oil for deep frying
Method
1. Wash the potatoes, peel the skin and cut into long thin shape(French fries shape)
2. After cutting keep them in bowl filled with water, to avoid turning brown. Let it be in the water for 15 minutes
3. After 15 mins, take some hot water in a wide bowl, add some salt and transfer the cut potato wedges in the hot water bowl. This will help the potatoes cook well while frying.
4. After 10 mins, take out the potatoes from hot water and dry them well using a paper towel or a clean cloth.
5. Once dried, the potatoes are ready for frying. For crispy French fries, we need to fry them twice.
Let’s do the first stage frying:
a. Take oil for frying in a pan, keep the flame in low to medium heat.
b. Drop the potatoes carefully and fry them for 3 to 4 mins. During the first fry,
there will not be any colour change in the potatoes.
c. Take them out and drain in a paper towel. Allow to cool down completely, may
be for 15 mins.
Now, Let’s do the second stage frying:
a. Keep the oil in medium to high flame. Add the potatoes to the hot oil
b. Fry until the potatoes look crispy. We can see the colour change.
c. Take them out of the oil, drain in paper towel.
d. Sprinkle salt and enjoy the tasty French fries with ketchup.
