How to fry French fries to make them crispy

1. Choose potatoes

Everyone knows that French fries are made from potatoes, but there are many varieties of potatoes. The most common ones are Dutch potatoes and local potatoes. Dutch potatoes have a crisper texture and are most suitable for French fries. These Dutch potatoes are mostly oval in shape and have a light yellow flesh.

2. Remove moisture from potato strips

Normally when people fry French fries, they cut the potatoes into strips, then marinate them with salt, and then coat them with a layer of starch. Before coating them with starch, people must drain the moisture on the surface of the potatoes, which will allow the potato strips to absorb less oil and make the fried strips more crispy.

3. French fries need to be reheated

When frying French fries, if you want the fries to be crispy, it is also important to fry them again. The so-called second frying means frying the fries until the surface is golden brown, then take them out, let them dry for a while, and then put the fries back into the pan after the oil temperature in the pan rises. Fry them quickly for about thirty seconds, take them out and drain the oil, and serve them on a plate with ketchup. They are crispy and delicious, and especially tasty.
