Categories     Potato     Vegetable     Side     Vegetarian     Kid-Friendly     Root Vegetable     Deep-Fry     Vegan     Gourmet     Small Plates

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 pounds russet (baking) potatoes (5 or 6)
4 to 6 cups vegetable oil for deep-frying
Salt
Accompaniments:
Sour Cream and Onion Dip , Saffron Mayonnaise , Ginger-Sesame Sauce , Roasted Red Pepper-Walnut Dip , and/or Chipotle-Tomatillo Sauce
Special Equipment
A 5- to 6-quart pot; a deep-fat thermometer

Steps:

  • Peel potatoes, then cut lengthwise into 1/3-inch-thick sticks, submerging in a large bowl of ice water. Rinse potatoes in several changes of cold water in bowl (more ice isn't necessary) until water is clear. Drain in a large colander.
  • Spread potatoes out in a single layer on several layers of kitchen towels to drain, then pat dry.
  • While potatoes are being rinsed and dried, heat 2 inches oil slowly in a 5- to 6-quart pot over medium-low heat until thermometer registers 300°F.
  • When oil is ready, increase heat to high and fry potatoes in four batches, stirring occasionally, until just cooked through but still white, about 3 minutes. (Adjust heat to keep oil as close to 300°F as possible and return oil to 300°F between batches.) Transfer fried potatoes with a slotted spoon to a baking sheet lined with dry towels to drain. When all potatoes are fried once, cool potatoes to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
  • Reheat oil over medium-high heat until thermometer registers 375°F. Fry potatoes again in four batches, stirring, and adjusting heat to keep oil as close to 375°F as possible, until deep golden, 3 to 4 minutes. (Return oil to 375°F between batches.) Transfer with slotted spoon to dry towels to drain briefly, then season with salt and serve immediately, with sauce(s) for dipping.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for fries because they have a high starch content, which makes them crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. If you don't have russet potatoes, you can use Yukon Gold potatoes, but they may not be as crispy.
  • Cut your fries evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If you have a mandoline, use it to slice your fries. If you don't have a mandoline, use a sharp knife to cut your fries into 1/2-inch thick strips.
  • Soak your fries in cold water: This will remove the excess starch from the potatoes, which will help them crisp up. Soak your fries for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Dry your fries thoroughly: Before you fry your fries, make sure they are completely dry. This will help them crisp up and prevent them from sticking together.
  • Use a high-quality oil: The type of oil you use will affect the flavor of your fries. Use a high-quality oil, such as vegetable oil, peanut oil, or canola oil.
  • Fry your fries in small batches: This will help them cook evenly. If you fry your fries in a large batch, they will crowd the pan and they won't cook evenly.
  • Season your fries: Once your fries are cooked, season them with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices.

Conclusion:

Spiced fries are a delicious and versatile snack or side dish. With so many different ways to spice them, you're sure to find a flavor that you love. So next time you're looking for something to munch on, give spiced fries a try.
