Crispy French Fries
Ingredients:
- 3 large potatoes (russet or Yukon gold) - 1 gallon cold water - Vegetable oil, for frying - Salt, to taste
Instructions:
1. Prepare the potatoes: Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1/2-inch wide fries. Rinse the fries thoroughly in cold water for 5 minutes to remove excess starch. 2. Soak the fries (optional): For crispier fries, soak the fries in ice water for at least 30 minutes. This step removes more starch, resulting in a crunchier exterior. 3. Dry the fries: Drain the fries in a colander and pat them dry with paper towels. 4. Heat the oil: Fill a large pot or deep fryer with vegetable oil. Heat the oil to 325°F (163°C). Use a deep-fry thermometer to ensure accuracy. 5. Fry the fries: Carefully drop a few fries into the hot oil. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. 6. Remove and drain: Use a slotted spoon to remove the fries from the oil. Drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil. 7. Season: Sprinkle the fries with salt to taste. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Tips:
- For extra crispy fries, double-fry them. After the first fry, let the fries cool, then fry them again for a few more minutes until they are golden brown and crispy. - To make curly fries, use a spiralizer to cut the potatoes. - If you don't have a deep-fryer, you can also fry the fries in a skillet on the stovetop. Just be sure to use a heavy-bottomed skillet and heat the oil to the correct temperature.
