FRENCH FRY STYLES RECIPES

Steps:

• Soak potatoes in a large bowl of water for about 30 minutes. Pat dry thoroughly with paper towels.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Gently add the potatoes in the hot oil for about 5 minutes, stirring and flipping the potatoes occasionally. Remove potatoes from oil with a slotted spoon to drain on paper towel and to cool completely.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fry the potatoes again until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Blot with a paper towel. Sprinkle with salt to serve.

Steps:

• Wash, peel (if you choose), and cut your potatoes into French fry shapes. Size depends on personal preference. Some like wedges, some like shoestring… choose your own!
• In a deep-fryer or large pot, heat your oil over medium-high heat or 300 Degrees F. 
• Par-cook your potatoes in the hot oil for about 3-5 minutes depending on the size of your French fries, making sure the fries are all submerged. 
• Now remove the potatoes and place them on a cooling rack. While these are cooling, begin the next batch. 
• Once all the French fries have been par-cooked, turn your heat up and heat the oil to around 350 Degrees F, or just a little bit higher than the setting you had the oil at before. 
• Place a batch of the par-cooked French fries back into the hot oil and fry once again for about 3 minutes. Once again, this depends on the size and you will need to determine how long to keep them in before letting them burn.
• Remove and place on a new cooling rack. Season with your favorite sea salt or homemade seasoning mix!
