How to make the most delicious French fries

topcook.tomathouse.com

Ingredients:

  • 4 large potatoes
  • Vegetable oil
  • Sea salt
  • Malt vinegar 5%

Preparation:

  1. Peel the potatoes and cut them lengthwise into 1 cm thick slices. Cut each slice into strips and rinse in a colander under cold running water to remove excess starch. Place the potato pieces on a paper towel to dry.
  2. Fill a deep frying pan halfway with vegetable oil and place it on the stove. Heat the oil to 130°C (275°F). It's important to use a thermometer for this. You can also use an electric deep fryer; simply set it to the desired temperature. Caution! Hot oil is extremely dangerous! Do not leave the frying pan or deep fryer unattended!
  3. Using a large metal spoon, drop some of the potatoes into the hot oil and stir thoroughly. Fry for 10 minutes or until browned.
  4. Remove the potatoes from the pan and set them aside on a paper towel to remove excess oil. Repeat with the other half of the potatoes.
  5. Heat oil in a frying pan to 190°C (375°F). Add the potatoes and fry for another 4-5 minutes until crispy and golden brown. Remove the potatoes from the pan with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.
  6. Place the potatoes on a platter, sprinkle with salt and drizzle with malt vinegar.
