French Fries Restaurant Style
- 420 large Russet or other high starch potato or sweet potato
- 4 Peanut or Vegetable Oil for Frying
- 1 ton of salt
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- This is the preferred method for making a crisp restaurant style French Fry
- Set up a pot, wok or deep fryer with peanut or vegetable oil, peanut is preferred it takes a hotter heat and vegetable can produce a frying odor.
- Set your temperature between 350 to 375, if doing a double fry use a lower heat for the first fry any where between 325 to 350 is good, a used oil that's already broken down a bit works well.
- Wash your potatoes remove any blemish spots then cut into your desired d from the juice helps the potatoes from oxidizing keeping there white color.
- Next is to blanch the fries bring a pot of water to a light boil add salt, blanch for about 2 minutes just to partially cook to long they will overcoo
- For the final fry dry the fries well any excess water will cause you oil to spatter, have the oil heated to 375 place the fries in fryer careful not to over crowed then cook till golden brown, remove to a plate with 1 or 2 paper towels on it pat off excess oil with another one, add salt a sea salt is a good salt to use then serve.
