Instructions:
-
Prepare the Potatoes: Begin by peeling the potatoes. Once peeled, cut them into thin strips to create your perfect French fries. You can adjust the thickness based on your preference, but thinner strips tend to crisp up better.
-
Heat the Oil: Pour the peanut oil into a deep frying pan or pot, ensuring there is enough oil to submerge the fries. Heat the oil to 170ยฐC (338ยฐF). For accurate results, it’s helpful to use a cooking thermometer to check the oil temperature.
-
Fry the Potatoes: Once the oil has reached the right temperature, carefully add the potato strips to the oil. Be sure not to overcrowd the panโfry the potatoes in small batches to ensure they cook evenly and become perfectly crispy. Let them fry for about 5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
-
Drain and Season: As each batch of fries finishes frying, remove them from the oil and transfer them onto a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Sprinkle with fine salt while they are still hot, so the seasoning sticks well.
-
Serve Immediately: Continue frying the remaining batches of potatoes, seasoning each batch as you go. Serve the French fries hot and crispy, as they will lose their crunch if left sitting for too long. Enjoy them fresh out of the fryer for the best texture!
These crispy French fries are a perfect side dish for any meal, whether you’re serving them with a burger, steak, or just on their own as a snack. Simple yet delicious, they are sure to satisfy your cravings for something crispy and savory.
