Ingredients

• 1.5 lb potatoes
• Frying oil
• Salt

Materials

• Deep fryer
• Paring knife

Preparation

• Peel and cut your potatoes into fries.
• Soak them in water for 5 minutes to remove starch and make them crispier. Dry them well with a towel.
• Fry them once in hot oil (285°F / 140°C) for 8 minutes. Remove them and let them cool.
• Then fry them again (350°F / 180°C) for 8 minutes. Remove them and sprinkle with salt.
• And there you have it, your homemade French fries are ready!

Observations

Potato variety: Prefer starchy potatoes, the favorite in this area is the Bintje, but you can also use Agria or Artemis, both with a nice yellow flesh.
Frying oil: The most suitable oil for high-temperature cooking is peanut oil. This vegetable oil is perfect for fries.
