Two Potatoes, One Spoon of Starch Teach You How to Make French Fries at Home – Simple and Delicious, Kids' Favorite
French fries are a popular snack made by deep-fried potato strips. The method is simple and easy for beginners. Some friends say that the fried fries have a soft texture but lack crispness. Today, let's share a simple home-style recipe for fries for your reference~
Peel the potatoes and cut them into strips
Add water with a little salt to soak and wash off the starch
Boil the potato strips for two minutes after boiling, then take them out and cool them. Cover them with plastic wrap and freeze in the refrigerator for two hours
Sprinkle potato strips with a layer of starch
Heat up the oil and deep-fry the potato strips
Fry until slightly pale and not fully cooked, then take them out and increase the oil temperature for a second frying until golden yellow
Put it in a plate, sprinkle with salt flakes, or dip it in tomato sauce for a better flavor, it's also great with barbecue sauce
Tips:
1. Don't use too low oil temperature. Fried potato strips with low temperature will eat too much oil. Also, keep the oil temperature not too high, otherwise the outer skin will easily burn and become old;
2. When freezing potatoes, drain the water. This prevents the potato strips from being difficult to separate after freezing, and also prevents large amounts of water from causing the pot to overflow when frying.
3. Fries can be eaten with tomato sauce, or sprinkled with a thin layer of salt after frying, depending on your preference, it's also great with barbecue sauce
4. Putting it in the refrigerator to freeze can avoid the potatoes being broken during frying.
