How To Make Delicious Crispy Fries

Who doesn’t love a crispy side of fries? But often you have the opposite in mind. That’s why today we want to give you some tips for making crispy fries.

The potato is the second most cultivated food in the world after rice. It is highly nutritious and recommended by many nutritionists (in moderation, of course).

Among the many excellent properties of potatoes, we find the following:

• They provide a large amount of complex carbohydrates.
• Potatoes help relieve stress as they are rich in vitamin B6 which controls levels of the hormone cortisol.
• They improve mental functions thanks to high amounts of iron, magnesium and copper.

• They also speed up digestion because they contain a lot of dietary fiber.

Today we want to tell you how to make sure your homemade fries have that crunchy texture you love. Learn how to make crispy fries in a few easy steps by following these techniques.

How to make crispy fries

Tip #1: Freeze them

One of the easiest ways to make your fries crispy is to freeze them. This trick is most commonly used in restaurants because it is so practical.

Supplies

• 4 large potatoes
• 30 grams of salt
• 125 ml olive oil
• 1 plastic bag or plastic film

• 1 large pan

Preparation

• Wash, peel and slice the potatoes.
• Then put them in the plastic bag or wrap and freeze them for at least an hour.
• After an hour, remove them from the freezer and heat the oil in the pan.
• Fry the fries until they are completely browned.
• Remove them from the pan, let them cool slightly and season with salt.
• Enjoy your delicious, crispy fries!

Tip #2: use peanut oil

Peanut oil is used in many cuisines. It can be used for baking or simply to add a mild nutty flavor to certain dishes. It is also ideal in this case as it helps to keep your fries crispy with the perfect consistency.

Supplies

• 4 large potatoes
• 250 ml peanut oil
• 30 grams of salt
• 1 pan

Preparation

• To keep your fries crisp, peel, slice and wash them well to remove excess starch.
• Heat the peanut oil in the pan over medium heat and add the potatoes.
• Bake them for two to three minutes and then let them cool.
• Put them in a bag and keep them in the fridge for an hour.
• After that time, remove the potatoes and fry them again until they are completely golden brown.
• Finally, season them with a little salt and serve.

Tip #3: wheat flour or cornflour

One thing that might help you in the future is the fact that wheat flour and cornstarch are excellent ingredients for giving food a crunchy texture when baked. Remember this the next time you make fries.

Supplies

• 120 grams wheat flour or cornflour
• 4 large potatoes (about 800 grams)
• 250 ml olive oil
• 2 tablespoons salt
• 1 large pan

Preparation

• Peel the potatoes, cut them into slices and rinse them. This time you can cut them into thick strips because the flour you use does all the work.
• Sprinkle the flour or cornstarch in a shallow bowl and dredge the potato strips in it.
• Heat the olive oil in the pan and add the potato strips.
• When they are golden, remove them from the pan and dry them on kitchen paper.

• Add the salt and serve.

Tip #4: soak them in water and add salt before baking

Salt is another technique you can use to make food crisp. In this case, you can use one of the ingredients mentioned earlier.

• For starters, you can peel, cut and wash your potatoes. Soak them in a bowl of water for at least five minutes.
• Drain the potato strips well to avoid being burned by oil when water gets into the skillet.
• Sprinkle them with salt before baking.
• Then heat the pan and add the potatoes. Bake them until they are golden brown.
• Remove the fries from the heat and pour the oil into the pan. Don’t let them cool, though, as the salt will make them tender.

We can promise you that these tips will help you make the best crispy fries you’ve ever prepared!
