Discover how to make crispy fries:
1. Start by choosing the potatoes
They need to be healthy and must be medium in size: neither too small nor too big. The pinkest potatoes, known as asterix, are best for frying.
2. Decide on the cut
The potatoes need to be cut symmetrically, to look nice, in slices or strips. In the first case, slice very thinly. Now, in strips, the potatoes need to be, on average, half a centimeter thick.
3. Cook the potatoes before frying
To have crispy fries, you need to ensure that they do not lose water during the frying process. To do this, cook the already sliced potatoes for a few moments, until they start to soften (slightly).
Then, drain the hot water and place them directly in cold water. This will prevent them from continuing to cook.
If you are using frozen potatoes, you will obviously skip all these processes. When frying, it needs to go into the pan while it is still frozen. So, just follow the next steps on the list, starting at #5.
4. Dry the potatoes
As soon as you drain all the water from the potato, you need to dry all the remaining water. Use a paper towel for this.
5. First frying
Once properly dried, the potatoes need to be fried for the first time and, for this, the oil needs to be extremely hot. As soon as the first potato in the portion starts to turn brown, it’s time to remove them all.
6. Let the potatoes rest
At this point in the process, the potatoes need to drain off excess oil and rest. You shouldn’t touch them again for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, keep the oil hot, over low heat.
7. Second frying
As your oil maintains its temperature, you won’t have much trouble completing the process and getting your dream of crispy home-made fries. Now, just let them fry until they are golden.
8. Serve
Once the potatoes are free of excess oil, you just need to add a little salt and enjoy your work.
