Crispy French Fries Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cover the potatoes with water.
• In a deep fryer fitted with a basket or a heavy medium saucepan, heat 3 inches of vegetable oil to 340°F.
• Drain the potatoes and pat dry with paper towels.
• Add half the potatoes to the oil and cook until they begin to blister and turn golden, about 15 minutes.
• Shake up the basket every once in a while (not too often - especially in the beginning when the fries are still soft), or run a fork through the saucepan to make sure fries are not sticking together.
• Spread the fries on paper towels to drain and cool.
• Repeat with remaining fries.
• (Fries can be made to this point up to 4 hours in advance of serving).
• Heat the oil to 375°F.
• Add a quarter of the fries and cook until browned and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Drain on paper towels and repeat with remaining fries.
• Sprinkle with sea salt and some oregano.

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.

Steps:

• Cut each potato lengthwise into 3/8-inch-thick slices. Slice sections into sticks also about 3/8 inch-wide.
• Cover potatoes with water and let soak for 5 minutes to release excess starches. Drain and cover with boiling water by a few inches (or place in a bowl of boiling water). Let sit for 10 minutes.
• Drain potatoes and transfer onto some paper towels. Blot off the excess water and let cool completely, at least 10 minutes. Transfer into a mixing bowl; drizzle with oil, season with cayenne, and toss to coat.
• Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Stack potatoes in a double layer in the fryer basket. Cook for 15 minutes. Slide basket out and toss fries; continue frying until golden brown, about 10 minutes more. Toss fries with salt in a mixing bowl. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Cut potato into french fry shapes.
• Heat oil to 325°F.
• Drop spuds into oil.
• Cook them in the oil for about 5 minutes, until they are semi-cooked and kind of floppy looking.
• Remove from oil, drain and cool.
• When spuds have cooled, re-heat oil to 375°F.
• Toss milk and cornstarch into a plastic bag.
• Put bread crumbs into another bag.
• Take semi-fried spuds and put them into the milk bag.
• Remove from milk bag then place into the bead crumb bag, shaking to coat.
• Refry for about 2 or 3 minutes.
• Place on wire rack to drain.
