French Fries
We all love them. Admit it. Hot, crispy, yet fluffy potato french fries. These are crispy french fries or finger chips that can be made at home easily.
Ingredients
3 medium-size potatoes or 2 large potatoes or 1 extra-large potatoes
3.5 cups cold water
rock salt or black salt or regular salt – as required
red chili powder or paprika as required – optional
oil for deep frying – as required
Instructions
Preparation
– Firstly take the potatoes and rinse well in water. Then peel them.
– Then slice the potato in slices having 1 cm thickness. Before slicing, you can remove the top and bottom parts of the potato to get a square or rectangle-shaped potato.
– Then begin to cut them in sticks having 1 cm width. You can also rinse these potato sticks a couple of times in water to get rid of the starch.
– In a bowl take 3.5 cups cold water and dunk the potatoes 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.
– After 30 minutes or 45 minutes, drain the potatoes in a colander.
– Rinse the potatoes with running water. Drain all the water.
– Then place them on a clean kitchen cotton napkin.
– Place the second half of the napkin above and press, pat and dry the potatoes. The potatoes have to be completely dried before you begin to fry them.
First frying french fries
– Heat oil in a wok or pan. Keep the flame to medium. The oil should be medium hot or having a temperature of 130 to 135 degrees celsius.
– Now add the potatoes in the oil. You can fry in two to three batches. I fried in two batches. Do not overcrowd the wok (Kadai) or pan.
– Stir while frying them for uniform cooking.
– Fry till the potatoes get cooked, but they should not brown from outside. They should just get a crust from outside without any major color change. Light browning of the edges is fine. Remove with a slotted spoon.
– Place the half fried potatoes on paper kitchen towels. 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.
Second frying french fries
– 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.
– Add the half fried potatoes to the hot oil. Stirring often begins to fry the potatoes.
– Fry till crisp and golden. Remove with a slotted spoon. place them on paper tissues again to remove the extra oil.
– While still hot, take the french fries in a bowl. Sprinkle with some salt, paprika or red chili flakes.
– Gently shake and toss the bowl so that the salt mixes well with them.
– Serve these homemade french fries hot with any dip or sauce of your choice.
