French fries
A classic side dish made from potatoes cut into strips and deep-fried until golden and crispy, often seasoned with salt and served with condiments like ketchup or mayonnaise.
Instructions
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1/4-inch (0.6 cm) thick strips. Aim for uniform thickness to ensure even cooking.
- Place the potato strips in a large bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps in achieving crispiness.
- Drain the potatoes and pat them completely dry with a kitchen towel to prevent oil splatter during frying.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large heavy-bottomed pot to 325°F (165°C). Use a candy thermometer to maintain the correct temperature.
- Fry the potatoes in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry each batch for about 4-5 minutes until they are soft but not browned. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C). Fry the potatoes again in batches for 2-3 minutes until they are golden and crispy.
- Remove the fries from the oil and drain on fresh paper towels. Immediately season with salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper.
- Transfer the fries to a serving dish and garnish with chopped parsley.
- Serve immediately with your choice of condiments such as ketchup, mayonnaise, or aioli.
