French Fries

Preparation time - 10 minutes
Cooking time 10 to 15 minutes

Ingredients to make French Fries:

4 large potatoes
Oil for frying
Salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper powder

Optional toppings: ketchup, mayonnaise, cheese, herbs, or spices

Method to make French Fries:

·     Peel the potatoes and then rinse them thoroughly under cold water to remove excess starch. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

·     Cut the potatoes into evenly sized sticks. Aim for about 1/4 inch in thickness. You can use a knife or a French fry cutter for this step.

·     Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for about 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch, resulting in crispier fries.

·    In a large, deep pot, heat oil to 325°F (165°C).

·    Drain the soaked fries and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.

·    Fry the potatoes in batches for about 3-4 minutes per batch. The fries should be light in colour but not golden yet. This "blanching" step ensures a soft interior.

·    Remove the blanched fries using a slotted spoon and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Let them cool for about 10 minutes.

·     Heat the oil to 375°F (190°C).

·     Fry the blanched fries in batches again, this time for about 3-5 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy. This double frying will give extra crisp to your fries.

·     Remove the fries and drain them on fresh paper towels. Immediately sprinkle with salt & black pepper powder to enhance the flavour.

·     Transfer the hot and crispy French fries to a serving dish lined with more paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

·      Serve the fries immediately with your choice of toppings such as ketchup, mayonnaise, melted cheese, chopped herbs or spices.

·     Relish every bite of these homemade French fries – the perfect blend of crispy outside and fluffy inside.
