Crispy French Fries

I would like to give some suggestions for a crispy french fries. First of all, when choosing potatoes, make sure there are no green patches because it will affect the fries as well as your stomach. Peel and cut each potato lengthwise into 4 to 5 pieces, then cut each piece into sticks. The thinner these are , the crispier they will be.

Second, soak the potato strips in cold water for 15 to 30 mins. This step also helps to get rid of excess starch, resulting in crisper fries. When you are ready to make the fries, drain the water and pat them dry with kitchen towels.

Finally, heat enough oil in a heavy bottomed pan over medium heat, in 3 to 4 batches, fry the strips until soft. Remove and drain them on new dry paper towels. Once all the potatoes have been fried, turn the heat high. When the oil is hot, start frying the potatoes in batches again, cooking until golden and crisp.

Notes:

There is another way to fry your fries, heat the oil over medium-high heat and fry the batter coated stripes in the hot oil in batches until they turn into golden brown.
