Best Kittencals Easy Seasoned Home Fries Recipes

QUICK & CRISPY HOME FRIES

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.

KITTENCAL'S EXTRA CRISPY FRENCH FRIES

Steps:

• In an extra large bowl dissolve the sugar completely in the water (the sugar must be completely dissolved).
• Add in the potato strips and refrigerate overnight.
• The following day drain well then pat the strips dry using paper towels.
• In a large heavy pot or deep-fryer heat oil to 375 degrees F.
• Carefully add potatoes in 2-3 batches and cook in hot oil for about 6 minutes or until golden brown (do not cook all the potatoes in one batch).
• Remove the fries using a large slotted spoon or long tongs and immediately season with seasoned salt or white salt while still hot.
• *NOTE* save the cooled oil in a jar at room temperature for the next time you make these.

HOMEMADE CRISPY SEASONED FRENCH FRIES

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.

QUICK AND EASY HOME FRIES

Steps:

• Rinse potato cubes with cold water, and drain well. Melt butter or margarine in a large skillet over medium heat. Place potatoes in the skillet, and stir to coat with butter. Season with salt and pepper. Cover with a lid, and cook for 10 minutes. Remove the lid, and cook for another 10 minutes, turning frequently until brown and crisp on all sides..

EASY HOME FRIES

Steps:

• Scrub the potatoes to clean them, then chop them into bite-sized pieces.
• Place all potato pieces onto a microwave-safe plate and cover with plastic wrap. Place plate in the microwave and cook for approximately 4 minutes (on the standard setting, which I believe is "high").
• While the potatoes are cooking in the microwave, place a griddle (or frying pan) on the stove top and turn the burner(s) on to medium heat. Add a small amount (1 tablespoon) of olive oil to the pan.
• When the potatoes are done in the microwave, carefully remove hot plate and take off plastic wrap. Watch out for steam. Drizzle the rest of the olive oil over the potatoes and then sprinkle the dried rosemary and garlic powder over them.
• When the griddle is heated, dump the potatoes onto it. After 2-3 minutes flip them over using a spatula. Continue to flip and stir them every couple of minutes as they cook, until they are done to your tastes. I usually leave them on for a total of 10 minutes.
• Remove from griddle and serve.

KITTENCAL'S FREEZER FRIES (OAMC)

Steps:

• Slice the potatoes into about 1/2-inch wide strips, or to desired thickness.
• Place them in a large bowl and cover them with cold water, drain and cover them again with cold water (for extra crispy fries mix 1-2 tablespoons sugar with the cold water until completely dissolved before adding in the potatoes).
• Place the bowl in the fridge for a minimum of 8 hours, even overnight or up to 2 days.
• When read to make, drain as many as you are going to fry in a large strainer and leave the rest in water (you will be working in batches).
• Have another large bowl ready to put the fryed fries into, and have a large slotted spoon ready also to remove the fries from the oil.
• In about a 5-quart non-stick Dutch oven or a deep fryer, heat 10-12 cups oil until hot with 1 tablespoon salt or more if desired (must use the salt in the oil!) I just throw one French fry in, if it bubbles then to the oil is ready, this will take about 8 minutes to heat until hot.
• Carefully place the drained fries into the hot oil (no need to pat them dry!) and fry only until the edges begin to turn a little brown, and fries feel soft (do not cook them totally).
• Remove with a slotted spoon and place into a large bowl.
• Repeat with the remaining potatoes.
• When the fried potatoes are room temperature prepare one or two large cookie sheets.
• Spread the fries on the sheets (you may pile them on top of each other they will come apart when defrosted) and place in the freezer until completely frozen, then just pop them into a large zip-lock freezer bags and store in the freezer.
• **NOTE** Of coarse you can make some right away if desired, after they have come down to room temperature just re-fry them again until desired crispness.
• After freezing just drop the frozen fries into hot oil, there is no need to thaw them first.

EASY GARLIC FRIES

• Prepare french fries according to package directions (bake or fry, your choice!).
• Combine remaining ingredients in a small bowl.
• Pour cooked french fries in a large bowl and pour garlic mixture over. Toss well; add additional salt if desired, and serve!
