Introduction:
There’s nothing quite like the satisfaction of biting into a crispy, golden French fry. Whether they’re a side dish to your favorite burger, a snack on their own, or served with a dip, fried French fries are a universally loved comfort food. But creating restaurant-quality fries at home can be easier than you think. With just a few ingredients and some simple steps, you can enjoy the perfect batch of fries that are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Let’s dive into how to make fried French fries that will elevate any meal.
Ingredients:
Russet potatoes – 4 medium (russet potatoes are the best for fries due to their high starch content)
Vegetable oil – 4 cups (for frying; sunflower or canola oil work well too)
Salt – to taste (for seasoning)
Optional seasonings:
Garlic powder
Paprika
Freshly ground black pepper
Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions:
Prepare the potatoes: Start by peeling the potatoes (optional, as some prefer skin-on fries) and then cut them into evenly sized strips. Aim for about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick fries for the best balance of crispiness and tenderness.
