Discover the ultimate way to prepare crispy and delicious potato fries with this easy-to-follow recipe.
Peel the potatoes and cut them into thick fries, about 1/2 inch wide.
Cutting the fries evenly ensures they cook at the same rate.
Fill a saucepan with water and heat it to 62°C (145°F).
Use a kitchen thermometer to maintain the water temperature accurately.
Add the fries to the water and cook for 30 minutes. Drain and let them cool to room temperature.
Cooling the fries helps them firm up for the frying process.
Heat the oil in a deep fryer or wok to 130°C (265°F). Fry the fries for 5 minutes, then remove and let them cool to room temperature.
Frying at a lower temperature cooks the fries without browning them.
Increase the oil temperature to 190°C (375°F) and fry the fries again until golden and crispy, about 5 minutes.
Frying in small batches prevents the oil temperature from dropping too much.
Remove the fries from the oil, drain on paper towels, and season with salt.
Season the fries immediately after frying to help the salt stick.
