I had got a couple of recipe requests for posting french fries. When I make french fries at home, I just chop the potatoes, rub some salt and directly fry them. The potatoes are not perfectly crisp like the mc donald’s french fries – but for all of us, these easy to prepare, quick homemade french fries are alright.
When I got the requests, I searched a lot of recipes on the web for that perfect french fries. I stumbled upon many and they all tell me to parboil the potatoes first, then fry it not once, but twice at different temperatures.
Now being a busy woman, I cannot afford to spend a major chunk of my time cooking the potatoes, then cooling them, then frying them, cooling them and again frying them.
So I gave up the Quest for the perfect french fries and even if some recipe comes close to it, I will be more than happy & satisfied
How To Make French Fries with bestcooking recipes
Method:2
1. Firstly take 1 extra-large potato or 2 large potatoes or 3 medium potatoes (315 grams). Rinse well in water and then peel the potato.
2. Then slice the potato in slices having 1 cm thickness. Before slicing, you can remove the top and bottom part of the potato to get a square or rectangle shaped potato. You can also use a french fry cutter if you have it.
3. Then begin to cut them in sticks having 1 cm width
4. Cut the remaining potato slices in sticks as well.
5. You can also rinse these potato sticks for a couple of times in water to get rid of the starch. In a bowl take 3.5 cups cold water and dunk the potato sticks in it. Keep this bowl outside or in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 45 minutes. In a hot and humid climate, keep the bowl in the fridge.
6. After 30 minutes or 45 minutes, drain the potatoes in a colander

15. Place the half fried potatoes on paper kitchen towels. Stack 3 to 4 paper towels. Press some paper towels from top also to absorb extra oil. Let the half fried potatoes cool down at room temperature. After removing this batch, you can fry the second batch of potatoes. By the time you fry the second batch of the potatoes, the first batch will cool down. So in the same oil, you can fry the first batch of half fried potatoes.
16. Now increase the flame to a medium-high or high. The oil should be hot and have a temperature of 180 to 185 degrees Celsius
17. Add the half fried potatoes to the hot oil.
18. Stirring often begin to fry the potatoes.
