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.

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!
