Quick & Crispy Home Fries image

In order to get a crispy crust like the fries at your local diner you need to precook and cool them. When you pan fry a cold starch, it gets a beautifully crispy surface.

Time 45m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 large russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
ΒΌ teaspoon paprika
cayenne pepper to taste
1 pinch garlic powder
1 pinch onion powder
1 tablespoon Chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Arrange potato pieces evenly on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high until just tender, about 4 minutes. Let cool to room temperature. Cut potatoes into bite-size chunks.
  • Heat butter and olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. When butter melts and starts to turn brown, swirl the pan and add the potatoes. Shake pan to arrange in an even layer. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • As potatoes brown, toss them and keep turning them every few minutes until they are crusty and crispy-edged and a rich reddish-brown color, 10 to 12 minutes. If potatoes seem to be cooking too quickly, reduce heat to medium. Serve topped with chopped chives.

HAND-CUT FRENCH FRIES

Provided by Food Network

Time 20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings as a side dish

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 large Russet potatoes, well scrubbed
24 ounces vegetable, canola, or peanut oil
Sea salt and malt vinegar
Crab boil seasoning (recommended: Old Bay)
Truffle oil
Parsley
Freshly chopped garlic
Hot sauce
Grated Parmesan
Red chile flakes
Fresh herbs

Steps:

  • Leaving the skin on, cut the potatoes into long thin strips and put in a large bowl of clean water to remove some starch, prevent them from sticking together, and stop the oxidizing process.
  • In a cast iron skillet fitted with a thermometer, or a small fryer, heat the oil until it reaches 275 to 300 degrees F. Remove the potatoes from the water and pat dry. Working in small batches, fry the potatoes until they go from shiny to matte, 3 to 5 minutes (this is also called blanching). Drain well on paper towels. Re-heat the oil until it reaches 350 degrees F and fry the potatoes again, also in small batches, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside but soft and chewy on the inside.
  • Remove from the oil, drain well, and toss with sea salt and malt vinegar, or any other seasoning you prefer. You can also fry fresh herbs such as rosemary, sage, and thyme with the potatoes. Serve hot.

Time 50m

Yield 6 side dish servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 russet potatoes (about 2 pounds), peeled and cut into a 3/4-inch pieces
Kosher salt
5 slices bacon (about 4 1/2 ounces)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, like soy, peanut, or corn
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves, optional
Pinch cayenne pepper, optional

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about 2 inches. Season with salt. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer until just tender, about 6 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Cook the bacon in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Pour all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon drippings into a small bowl and set aside. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Wipe out the skillet and return to medium-high heat. Heat the remaining bacon fat and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in the skillet. Add the potatoes, season with salt and pepper to taste, and arrange in a single layer. Cook, without stirring, until well browned on 1 side, about 4 minutes. Using a spatula, turn the potatoes in small sections, and continue cooking, turning occasionally, about 6 minutes or until well browned. Stir in the onions, heat through, and sprinkle with the parsley and cayenne, if desired. Transfer to a warm platter and crumble the bacon on top, serve. Copyright 2005 Television Food Network, G.P.

FRENCH FRIES

Perfect French fries with our easy recipe - you'll end up with lightly golden, crisp fries. They're great as a snack or side dish to a Friday night feast

Provided by Adam Bush

Categories     Side dish

Time 30m

Yield Serves 4 as a side

Number Of Ingredients 2

1kg Maris Piper or King Edward potatoes
vegetable oil, for deep frying

Steps:

  • Peel the potatoes and cut into 1cm-thick batons. Put into a bowl of cold water and leave to soak for at least 2 hrs to remove the starch from the potatoes - this will help them crisp while frying.
  • Drain the potatoes well and pat dry with kitchen paper. Fill a deep pan no more than a third full with oil and heat to 140C, or until a cube of bread dropped in browns in 60 seconds. Fry the French fries in batches for 6 mins per batch until golden straw-coloured, cooked through and lightly crisp. Drain well on kitchen paper.
  • Turn the heat up until the oil reaches 180C, or a cube of bread browns in 30 seconds. Fry the French fries again for 2-3 mins per batch until lightly golden and really crisp. Drain on kitchen paper and immediately season with sea salt.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Potatoes: Select firm, unblemished potatoes like Russets or Yukon Gold for the best home fries.
  • Cut Potatoes Evenly: Uniform-sized potato pieces ensure even cooking and prevent some from becoming overcooked while others remain undercooked.
  • Use High Heat: Searing the potatoes on high heat creates a crispy exterior while keeping the inside tender.
  • Don't Crowd the Pan: Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming instead of frying. Work in batches if needed.
  • Season Generously: Add your favorite seasonings liberally. Paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt and pepper are classic options.
  • Cook Until Golden Brown: Keep an eye on the potatoes and cook until they reach a beautiful golden brown color for optimal flavor and texture.
  • Garnish and Serve: Finish the home fries with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or chives, and serve immediately.

Conclusion:

With just a few simple steps, you can prepare delicious and crispy home fries that are a perfect accompaniment to any breakfast, brunch, or lunch. Whether you prefer them plain or topped with your favorite ingredients, these home fries are sure to satisfy. So gather your ingredients, heat up your pan, and get ready to enjoy a classic dish made with love in the comfort of your own home. Happy cooking!
