Crispy Golden French Fries: A Homemade Delight
Perfect for Kids’ Snacks, Appetizers, or Late-Night Cravings: Easy Homemade French Fries Recipe
Let’s make irresistibly crispy french fries at home. This recipe will guide you to achieve that perfect golden-brown exterior and fluffy interior.
Ingredients- 4 medium potatoes
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Start by selecting fresh, seasonal potatoes, the star of our delicious fries! Their fluffy texture and natural sweetness will enhance the overall flavor. With this recipe, you’ll be able to enjoy wonderful homemade french fries.
Step 2
Thoroughly wash the potatoes. Then, slice them into an even thickness, about 0.5 cm (or 1/4 inch) for classic fries. If you don’t have a slicer, carefully cut them thinly with a knife. After slicing, rinse the potato strips gently under running water to remove excess starch, and then pat them completely dry with paper towels. This step is crucial to prevent oil splatter and ensure maximum crispiness.
Step 3
Now, let’s prepare for frying. Fill a deep fryer or pot with enough cooking oil and heat it to approximately 170°C (340°F). Carefully add the dried potato slices to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 3-5 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden-brown color. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking. Once lightly golden, remove the fries and place them on a wire rack to drain the excess oil. This is the first fry.
Step 4
For an extra crispy texture, you can double-fry the fries. Increase the oil temperature to about 180°C (355°F). Return the partially fried fries to the hot oil and fry for another 1-2 minutes until they are perfectly golden and crisp. This double-frying technique yields fries that are wonderfully crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. Drain them again on a wire rack and season immediately with salt or your favorite seasonings. Enjoy your delicious homemade french fries as a snack, appetizer, or late-night treat!
