Best Seasoned French Fries Recipes

SEASONED FRENCH FRIES

Steps:

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.

SEARED RED AND BLACK PEPPER CRUSTED TUNA WITH PINEAPPLE-RED CHILE SAUCE AND SEASONED FRENCH FRIES

Steps:

• Place pineapple juice in a medium saucepan over high heat and reduce to 3 cups. Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook until soft. Add the ancho and chile de arbol powder and cook for 2 minutes. Add the reduced pineapple juice, bring to a boil, and cook until reduced to 2 cups. Place mixture in a blender and blend until smooth. Strain into a clean medium saucepan over medium heat, add the honey and cook for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Mix together the spices in a medium bowl. Brush the tuna on each side with olive oil and season with salt. Dredge 1 side of each tuna in the spice mixture. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until almost smoking. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sear the tuna spice-side down for 2 to 3 minutes, until a crust forms. Turn over and continue cooking for 1 to 2 minutes for rare doneness.
• Mix together the salt, ancho powder and cumin in a small bowl. Heat vegetable oil to 325 degrees F in a fryer. Fry the potatoes in batches until lightly browned. Drain on paper towels. Increase the temperature of the oil to 375 degrees, put the potatoes, in batches, back into the oil and fry until brown and crisp. Remove the fries from the oil with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels and immediately season with the spice mixture.

PERFECT SEASONED FRENCH FRIES

Steps:

• Cut fries as desired.

• First fry - in batches AT *300* degrees until just tender (yes, this is a lower temp than you would think).
• When all are done with first fry, toss gently, but well, with seasonings.
• Second fry - Increase oil temp to *400* degrees, frying until golden & beautiful.
• ALTERNATIVE TO FRYING:.
• In boiling water, place fries in & boil 3 minutes - no longer!
• Set aside to cool, toss with seasonings.
• On baking sheet sprayed with light mist of oil, place potatoes so they are not touching each other.
• Spray them lightly with oil.
• Bake in preheated 450 degree oven for 18 - 24 minutes until golden & crunchy.
