How to Deep Fry French Fries
- 2 Potatoes
- 1 Fresh frying oil (as good quality as possible)
- 1 Good quality salt
- 1 Paper or plastic bag
- Cut the potato into wedges and soak in water with a bit of salt and vinegar.
- Drain.
- You can also cut them into long, thin strips or sticks, or any shape you desire.
- Once the potatoes from Step 1 have drained, completely pat dry with a paper towel.
- Fill a frying pan with oil 1 cm deep (you don't need too much).
- Don't turn on the heat just yet!
- Place the potatoes in the oil while it's still cold.
- (It's okay if they're only half-submerged in the oil).
- Once the potatoes are arranged in the pan, turn on the heat.
- The heat should be low at first.
- The oil should evenly start to sizzle.
- If you start out at medium heat, the potatoes won't cook all the way through, so patiently fry them over low-medium heat.
- Keep frying until you can easily press a chopstick through a slice.
- Once the potatoes have cooked through, turn the heat to high and keep frying until their surface is light brown and crispy.
- Drain the potatoes and put them into a bag while still hot.
- Put a pinch of salt in the bag and shake to coat.
- They're done!
- Serve them while they're fresh!
