If you’re looking for perfect French fries that are crispy on the exterior and luscious on the inside, look no further.
I’ve gotten several recipe requests for handmade French fries. I was pleased to oblige because we love French fries in this family! I went into the kitchen and began making trial runs in search of the ultimate handmade French fries.
These quick and easy homemade French fries are tasty and as crispy as those from McDonald’s or other fast-food restaurants.
Some folks parboil the potatoes before frying them twice at various temperatures. This five-step method (cooking-cooling-frying-cooling-frying again) didn’t make sense for my life as a busy woman.
My French fries are also completely customizable, so if you want garlic parmesan, ranch, salt & vinegar, or even BBQ flavoured French fries, you can make them. If you want a little healthier version, substitute sweet potatoes instead!
The method of double frying is also essential for making the perfect French fry. The first fry serves to form a barrier on the potato’s outside and allows it to cook all the way through.
The second fry gives the potato its beautiful golden colour and completes the cooking process.
A few elements hold the key to excellent French fries. First, there is the soaking period. A cold water bath will eliminate the starch and sugar from the fries, allowing them to crisp up and cook evenly.
Second, consider the oil temperature. A food thermometer guarantees that each fry is perfectly crisp. Finally, the type of potato you use.
The good news is that many different types of potatoes can be used to make chips, but just a few are exceptionally well-suited to the task.
Some potatoes will produce overly soft chips, while others may produce excessively hard chips. The greatest potatoes for creating chips are ones that are in the middle of the spectrum, not too soft or too hard.
Use potatoes with a high starch content for the best results. Maris piper, King Edwards, Russet, and Yukon gold potatoes are all wonderful choices for crispy yet tender French fries.
