Description
A recipe for perfectly crispy homemade French fries.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large russet potatoes
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into uniform fry shapes, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat them completely dry with paper towels.
- Heat about 3 inches of vegetable oil in a deep pot or Dutch oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Fry the potatoes in batches for about 5-7 minutes, until they are soft but not browned. Remove them from the oil and let them drain on paper towels.
- Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C).
- Fry the blanched potatoes again in batches for 2-4 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the fries from the oil and drain on fresh paper towels. Season immediately with salt.
Notes
- Ensure potatoes are completely dry before frying to prevent splattering.
- Do not overcrowd the pot when frying.
- For extra crispiness, you can double-fry the potatoes.
