You can make fries as crispy and delicious as your favorite chips right at home! These fries boast a perfect balance of crispy exterior and fluffy interior. A drizzle of sweet honey makes them an ideal snack for kids and a perfect accompaniment to beer for adults.
Main Ingredients- 3 medium potatoes
Seasoning & Topping- 3 tsp salt
- Honey, for drizzling
- A pinch of chopped parsley (optional)
- 3 tsp salt
- Honey, for drizzling
- A pinch of chopped parsley (optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and prepare them without peeling. Use a mandoline slicer or a grater to thinly slice the potatoes. Slicing them to a uniform thickness will ensure even cooking and crispiness when fried.
Step 2
It’s crucial to remove the starch from the sliced potatoes. Place them in cold water and rinse them 3-4 times until the water runs clear. Dissolve salt in fresh water and let the rinsed potatoes soak for about 20 minutes. This process draws out excess moisture and seasons the potatoes, making them tastier.
Step 3
Drain the salted potatoes and spread them out on paper towels or a clean kitchen towel. Gently press down on the potatoes to absorb as much moisture as possible. Excess water can cause oil splatter during frying and reduce crispiness.
Step 4
In a pot, heat a generous amount of cooking oil to about 170°C (340°F). To test the oil temperature, drop a single potato slice in; if it floats immediately, the oil is ready. Carefully add the drained potato slices and fry until golden brown. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Step 5
Once golden brown, remove the fries from the oil and place them in a colander to drain excess grease. Arrange the hot fries on a plate and generously drizzle honey in a zigzag pattern. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for a beautiful presentation. Your delicious homemade french fries are now ready to enjoy!
