French Fries 🍟
Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside—one of the most loved snacks in the world!
🥔 Ingredients
- 3–4 large potatoes
- Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)
- Salt (to taste)
👩🍳 Classic Deep-Fried Method
1. Cut the potatoes
- Peel (optional) and slice into thin sticks
2. Soak
- Soak in cold water for 30 minutes (removes starch → crispier fries)
- Dry completely before frying
3. First fry
- Heat oil to 160°C (320°F)
- Fry for 4–5 minutes (don’t brown yet)
- Remove and let rest
4. Second fry
- Increase oil to 190°C (375°F)
- Fry again until golden and crispy
5. Season
- Sprinkle salt immediately after frying
🔥 Oven-Baked Version (Healthier)
- Toss cut potatoes with oil and salt
- Bake at 220°C (425°F) for 30–40 minutes
- Flip halfway for even crispiness
🌟 Flavor Ideas
- Garlic Parmesan 🧄🧀
- Spicy chili flakes 🌶️
- Cheese fries with melted cheddar
- Loaded fries (cheese, chicken, sauces)
😋 Tips
- Use starchy potatoes (like Russet) for best texture
- Don’t overcrowd the fryer
- Double frying = extra crispy
