French Fries
Updated: 1 day ago
Potatoes are among the most widely cultivated plants globally, making them one of the most consumed foods. They are essential in various dishes and even in culinary experiments. While it may seem straightforward to prepare potatoes, many individuals do not adhere to the correct preparation methods, particularly for French fries. The initial step is to thoroughly peel the potatoes and remove any blemishes or green areas, as these can be harmful. When preparing French fries, they should be sliced thinly, ideally around 6-7 mm. Despite not having a deep fryer in my kitchen, I consistently prepare them this way, and they turn out fantastic. Follow the recipe for best results.
Ingredients: simple, total time: 45 min, 4 servings
4 big potatoes
salt to taste
plenty of oil
water
Preparation:
As I wrote, clean the potatoes well, wash them, and cut them in half, then cut them into thin rings up to 1 cm thick. Then cut them into slices, 6 – 7 mm thick.
When you have cut them all into pieces, take a medium saucepan, fill it with enough water to cover the potatoes, and add salt. Cook for about 10 minutes.
Strain the potatoes well from the liquid and let them stand for about 10 minutes. After that, take a clean kitchen towel and dry them well.
Now take a deep-frying pan or, if you have a fryer, wait for the oil to heat up well and put the potatoes in to fry. Add plenty of oil.
Fry them like this until they take on a nice yellowish color and become softer. Take them out with the help of a large spoon with holes into a deep dish; salt the first part and cover the dish with the rest of the potatoes that are being fried. When it is ready, repeat the process. At the end, mix everything gently and serve warm with the main dish. You will see for yourself that the potatoes are fried this way quickly and that they are much tastier and softer, like from a restaurant.
Buon appetito!
