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

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

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.

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.

4 cloves garlic
4 teaspoons curry powder

Add the curry powder, paprika, chili powder, and cinnamon and cook for 30 seconds, until the spices are fragrant and toasted.
  • Add the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, and honey and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the pot from the heat and let the curry ketchup cool slightly.
  • Transfer the ketchup to a tall, narrow container. Using an immersion blender, purée the mixture until smooth, about 3 minutes. Let the mixture cool completely, then thin with water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you your desired consistency is reached. The curry ketchup can be made up to 1 day before serving. To serve, top the fries with the curry ketchup, mayonnaise, and chopped onion.
  • For the garlic chipotle mayo: Cook the garlic cloves in a small, dry skillet over medium-high heat until the cloves are golden with some black spots, about 9 minutes.
  • Transfer the garlic to a food processor, along with mayonnaise, lemon juice, chipotle peppers, and salt. Process until combined. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. The roasted garlic chipotle mayo can be made up to 1 day before serving. To serve, top the fries with the garlic chipotle mayo.

CLASSIC FRENCH FRIES RECIPE BY TASTY



Classic French Fries Recipe by Tasty image

Learn the proper way to make French fries! The secret is a double-fry method. First, par-fry the potatoes at a low temperature to cook through, then fry a second time at a higher temperature to brown and crisp the outside. The result is a perfectly tender, fluffy interior and a super crispy exterior.

Provided by Katie Aubin

Categories     Snacks

Time 25m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 4

canola oil, for frying
1 large idaho potato
kosher salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Fill a large, high-walled skillet with canola oil to a depth of about ½ inch. Heat over medium-high heat until the oil temperature reaches 300°F (150°C).
  • Peel the potato and cut into ½-inch (1-cm) batons. Dry the potato thoroughly with paper towels.
  • Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, par-fry the fries in the hot oil for about 5 minutes, or until lightly browned and tender. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fries to a paper-towel lined baking sheet to drain. Season with salt.
  • Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190˚C).
  • Return the fries to the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, 3-5 minutes.
  • Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fries back to the paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Potatoes: Yukon Gold or russet potatoes are ideal for home fries, as they hold their shape well during cooking.
  • Cut Potatoes Evenly: Consistent-sized pieces ensure even cooking.
  • Soak Potatoes: Soaking potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes removes excess starch, helping them crisp up.
  • Dry Potatoes Thoroughly: Excess moisture prevents potatoes from crisping.
  • Use a Well-Seasoned Skillet: A cast iron or well-seasoned stainless steel skillet provides even heat distribution and helps create a crispy crust.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Overcrowding prevents potatoes from crisping properly.
  • Cook Potatoes in Batches: If necessary, cook potatoes in batches to avoid overcrowding.
  • Flip Potatoes Only Once: Flipping potatoes too often breaks them up and prevents them from forming a crispy crust.
  • Add Aromatics: Enhance the flavor of home fries by adding aromatics like onions, garlic, peppers, or herbs during cooking.
  • Serve Immediately: Home fries are best enjoyed hot and crispy, right out of the skillet.

Conclusion:

Homemade fries are a versatile and delicious side dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. By following these tips, you can create perfectly crispy and flavorful home fries that will impress your family and friends. Experiment with different seasonings and add-ins to create your own unique variations. So next time you're craving a hearty and satisfying dish, give these tasty home fries a try!
