Hand Cut Fries With Celery Salt Recipes

Steps:

• Slice off about 1/2-inch from the ends of the potatoes. Then cut a thin slice the length of one side, to provide a stable platform while you finish cutting the potato. Now slice the potato lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick planks, then cut those planks lengthwise into 1/2-inch-wide sticks. Place these fries in a bowl of ice water and agitate them to remove the starch. Rinse, then put in another ice-water bath and agitate again until the water is clear (which means there's no more starch). Spread the fries on a clean dish towel and pat dry.
• First fry: Pour peanut oil into a cast-iron pot-it should be about 3/4 full. Heat oil to 325 degrees F. Fry in batches until the corners just start to color, about 3-5 minutes. (This "oil blanching" cooks them through.) Remove and let cool to room temperature.
• Second fry: Heat oil to 375 degrees F. Fry in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season with kosher salt. Serve with ketchup spiked with hot sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F (99 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and place in the oven to preheat.
• Place celeriac in a bowl; drizzle olive oil over and season with salt and black pepper. Toss fries to coat evenly.
• Remove baking sheet from the hot oven. Transfer fries to the baking sheet in a single layer with some space between them.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
• While fries bake, combine tomato paste, tomato sauce, apple cider vinegar, harissa, brown rice syrup, coriander, garlic powder, onion powder, and sea salt in a small bowl. Stir to combine until smooth. Add water, 1/4 teaspoon at a time until desired consistency. Set ketchup aside.
• Remove fries from oven and increase oven temperature to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Flip fries and return baking sheet to the hot oven. Bake until crispy, about 15 minutes more.
• Serve celery root fries with harissa ketchup.

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:

• For the Geechie seasoning: In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, ground mustard, onion powder, paprika, sugar, salt and pepper.
• For the chips: Fill a large bowl with water and stir in the salt until dissolved. Thinly slice the potatoes on a mandoline to about 1/8 inch thickness and add to the salted water (see Cook's Note).
• Drain the potato slices on a baking sheet lined with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel to absorb as much water as possible.
• In a large Dutch oven, add enough oil to come halfway up the sides (or fill a deep fryer) and heat the oil until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 365 degrees F. Fry the potato slices in small batches, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown, about 3 minutes. Drain on a baking sheet with a wire rack and sprinkle with the Geechie seasoning while the chips are hot.

Steps:

• Place the egg, egg yolk, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper in a food processor fitted with a metal blade and process until well blended.
• With the processor running, slowly pour in the oils, gradually increasing the amount added as the sauce thickens. As soon as the sauce is very thick, thin with lemon juice, followed by the remaining oil. Place in a medium bowl and check for seasoning, adding more lemon juice, salt and pepper if necessary.
• Peel potatoes and slice into 1/4?inch slices. Cut each slice in 1/4-inch strips, and rinse in cold water.
• Heat the oil to 315 to 325 degrees F.
• In 4 to 5 small batches, blanch the fries for approximately 8 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
• When ready to serve, heat oil to 350 to 375 degrees F.
• In small batches fry blanched potatoes for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Drain well, and toss in mixing bowl with chopped parsley and salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Place the egg, egg yolk, Dijon mustard, garlic puree, salt, and pepper in a food processor fitted with a metal blade and process until well blended.
• With the processor running, slowly pour in the oils, gradually increasing the amount added as the sauce thickens. As soon as the sauce is very thick, thin with lemon juice, followed by the remaining oil. Place in a medium bowl and check for seasoning, adding more lemon juice, salt and pepper if necessary.
• Peel potatoes and slice into 1/4-inch slices. Cut each slice in 1/4-inch strips, and rinse in cold water.
• Heat the oil to 315 to 325 degrees F.
• In 4 to 5 small batches, blanch the fries for approximately 8 minutes, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
• When ready to serve, heat oil to 350 to 375 degrees F.
• In small batches, fry blanched potatoes for 2 to 3 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Drain well, and toss in mixing bowl with chopped parsley and salt and pepper. Serve with Dijon aioli.

Steps:

• Set up a large pot with a steamer insert and steam the franks until warm, about 5 minutes. When the franks are almost done, place the buns on top of the franks to steam, 1 to 2 minutes. Place the franks in the buns and top each with some of the onions, 2 peppers, some Homemade Bread and Butter Relish and slather with mustard. To serve, top the franks with a handful of Hand Cut Fries with Celery Salt, wrap each frank in foil and let steam, 2 to 3 minutes, before eating. Eat on the towel-lined trunk of a car.
• Combine the pickles, peppers and sugar in a bowl and mix well. Serve.
• Fill a 6-quart heavy pot or Dutch oven two-thirds of the way full with oil. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until a deep-fat thermometer registers 375 degrees F.
• Cut the potatoes lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick sticks. Fry the potatoes in batches, until golden brown, 8 minutes per batch. Transfer the potatoes with a slotted spoon to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with celery salt and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Leaving the skin on, cut the potatoes into long thin strips and put in a large bowl of clean water to remove some starch, prevent them from sticking together, and stop the oxidizing process.
• In a cast iron skillet fitted with a thermometer, or a small fryer, heat the oil until it reaches 275 to 300 degrees F. Remove the potatoes from the water and pat dry. Working in small batches, fry the potatoes until they go from shiny to matte, 3 to 5 minutes (this is also called blanching). Drain well on paper towels. Re-heat the oil until it reaches 350 degrees F and fry the potatoes again, also in small batches, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside but soft and chewy on the inside.
• Remove from the oil, drain well, and toss with sea salt and malt vinegar, or any other seasoning you prefer. You can also fry fresh herbs such as rosemary, sage, and thyme with the potatoes. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Pre heat oven to 425.
• Clean, peel and cut celery root into fry size (approximately 1/4" x 1/4" x 2").
• In a large bowl mix olive oil and Cajun seasoning; add celery root and toss till well coated.
• Bake 30 to 40 minutes flipping ever 10 to 15 minutes to prevent burning on the bottom and promote even cooking.
• Enjoy while hot.
