PERFECT FRENCH FRIES



Perfect French Fries image

In a nutshell, here it is: Soak potatoes, dry potatoes, fry potatoes, drain potatoes, then fry again!

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 2h50m

Yield s: 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

5 pounds russet potatoes
Vegetable or peanut oil, for frying
Sea salt

Steps:

  • Peel and rinse the potatoes. Then cut them into sticks by cutting the potato in 4 or 5 vertical pieces, and then cutting each piece into sticks.
  • Place them in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Allow them to soak, 2 to 3 hours. (You can also stick them in the fridge and let them soak overnight.)
  • When you're ready to make the fries, drain off the water and lay the potatoes on 2 baking sheets lined with paper towels. Blot with paper towels to dry them.
  • Heat a few inches of oil in a heavy pot to 300 degrees F. In 3 or 4 batches, cook the potatoes until soft, 4 to 5 minutes per batch. They should not be brown at this point! You just want to start the cooking process. Remove each batch and drain on new/dry paper towels.
  • Once all the potatoes have been fried at 300 degrees F, turn up the heat until the oil reaches 400 degrees F. When the oil's hot, start frying the potatoes in batches again, cooking until the fries are golden and crisp. Remove the potatoes from the oil and drain on paper towels.
  • Sprinkle with sea salt and dive in!

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for oven fries, as they are starchy and have a high solids content, which means they will crisp up nicely in the oven.
  • Cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Soak the potatoes in water: This will help to remove excess starch, which can make the fries soggy.
  • Dry the potatoes thoroughly before frying: This will help them crisp up.
  • Use a high-quality olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice for oven fries, as it has a high smoke point and will not burn.
  • Season the fries with salt and pepper: You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Bake the fries at a high temperature: This will help them crisp up quickly.
  • Flip the fries halfway through cooking: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Serve the fries immediately: Oven fries are best served hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Oven fries are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional deep-fried fries. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect oven fries every time.
