Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 large russet or kinnebec potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4 by 1/4-inch thick batons
2 quarts peanut oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Rinse cut potatoes in a large bowl with lots of cold running water until water becomes clear. Cover with water by 1-inch and cover with ice. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes and up to 1 day.
  • Heat the oil in a deep-fryer to 325 degrees F. Be sure not to fill the oil beyond the maximum fill line.
  • Drain ice water from cut fries and wrap potato pieces in a clean dishcloth or tea towel and thoroughly pat dry. Add fries, a handful at a time, to the hot oil. Fry, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are soft and limp and begin to turn a blond color, about 6 to 8 minutes. Use the basket to carefully remove fries from the oil and set aside to drain on paper towels. Let rest for at least 10 minutes or up to 2 hours.
  • When ready to serve the French fries, reheat the oil to 350 degrees F. Transfer the blanched potatoes to the hot oil and fry again, stirring frequently, until golden brown and puffed, about 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel lined platter and sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve immediately.

HOMEMADE CRISPY SEASONED FRENCH FRIES



Homemade Crispy Seasoned French Fries image

My family loves French fries and with 4 children the bag fries from the store just weren't enough and became too expensive. So I tried batter - after all it makes chicken, shrimp, and onion rings crispy so why not potatoes. Now even my husband can't get enough of these French fries. They even stay crispy when you reheat in the microwave.

Time 25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 ½ pounds russet potatoes, peeled
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon onion salt
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon paprika
½ cup water, or as needed
1 cup vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Slice potatoes into French fries, and place into cold water so they won't turn brown while you prepare the oil.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. While the oil is heating, sift the flour, garlic salt, onion salt, (regular) salt, and paprika into a large bowl. Gradually stir in enough water so that the mixture can be drizzled from a spoon.
  • Dip potato slices into the batter one at a time, and place in the hot oil so they are not touching at first. The fries must be placed into the skillet one at a time, or they will clump together. Fry until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 30m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

0.25 (16 ounce) bag frozen french fries
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt (to taste )
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground pepper (to taste )
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder (to taste )
1/8 teaspoon onion powder (to taste )
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes

Steps:

  • Coat fries with olive oil, then add spices and mix well ( i add them one at a time and toss between additions).
  • Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes turning once or twice till crisp.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use russet potatoes. They have a high starch content, which makes them crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
  • Cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces so that they cook evenly.
  • Soak the potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes before frying. This will help to remove the excess starch and make them crispier.
  • Dry the potatoes thoroughly before frying. Any excess water will cause the oil to splatter.
  • Heat the oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit before adding the potatoes. If the oil is not hot enough, the potatoes will not cook evenly.
  • Fry the potatoes in batches so that they do not overcrowd the pan. Overcrowding will cause the potatoes to steam instead of fry.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are golden brown and crispy. This will take about 3-4 minutes per batch.
  • Drain the potatoes on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
  • Season the potatoes with salt, pepper, and other desired seasonings while they are still hot.

Conclusion:

Kicked-up French fries are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like them spicy, cheesy, or loaded with toppings, there is a kicked-up French fry recipe out there for everyone.
