Instructions:
-
Prepare the Veggies:
- Begin by slicing the potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, and swede into slices of your preferred thickness. Whether you like them thin and crispy or thick and hearty, tailor the slices to suit your taste. Once sliced, gently pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
-
Heat the Oil:
- In a sturdy pot or deep fryer, heat the cooking oil until it reaches a temperature between 385°F and 395°F (196°C to 202°C). The oil should be hot enough to create a crispy exterior while ensuring the veggies cook evenly on the inside.
-
Fry to Perfection:
- Carefully lower the sliced veggies into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry them in batches if necessary to maintain consistent heat and avoid overcrowding. Cook the fries until they reach your desired level of crispiness and golden brown color. Keep an eye on them to prevent overcooking.
-
Drain and Season:
- Once the fries are cooked to perfection, remove them from the oil and place them on a layer of newspaper to drain any excess oil. This step helps maintain their crispy texture and reduces excess grease. While still hot, sprinkle the fries with finely ground sea salt and/or freshly ground black pepper to enhance their flavor.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Transfer the seasoned fries to a serving dish or individual plates, and pair them with small bowls of your favorite dipping sauce. For an extra kick, consider serving them with Fish and Chip Shop Curry Sauce (Recipezaar recipe ID#17175) for a deliciously spicy twist. Gather your friends and family, and enjoy these irresistible homemade French fries!
