Step 1: Airstream the Potatoes

First we neediness to wash our potatoes.

Step 2: Cut the Potatoes

Like a sho we want to cut the potatoes. You privy use a knife, but if you are doing a large batch of them, this gets very time consuming. To save clip use some rather Fry Cutter. They solve wonders!

Step 3: Soak the Potatoes

Now we want to soak the potatoes in ice cold water for about 20 minutes. The reason we do this is to move out the starchiness of the potatoes.

Step 4: Heat Oil

Now we want to hot up our oil colour. I like to use Peanut vegetable oil. It is a great "hi" hot up embrocate. I cause a deep fryer, but you lav certainly use a bounteous pot. You wish want to expend a candy thermometer to check your temps. This time we are going to heat our oil to a low heat of around 320 to 325 degrees.

Abuse 5: Dry the Potatoes

After our potatoes have pie-eyed in ice cold water, we desire to dried-up them really well, before we put them in the fryer.

Step 6: 1st Fry

Now we wishing to fry our potatoes at a low heat (320 to 325 degrees) for more or less 6 minutes, until they look blonde in color.

Tread 7: Dry Fries (non Heavy Cooked Yet)

Now we want to dry our french fries. I like to use paper towels.

Step 8: Make Sure Oil colour Gets Back to Temperature

If you are cooking a lot of fries, periodically you will want to check the temperature of your oil, to ready sure it stays roughly the desired temp. Use a candy thermometer, if you aren't using a deep fryer with an indicator temp light.

Stride 9: Block the French-fried potatoes

Now we freeze the partially roast french-fried potatoes. Cool thing about this, is you can store these for quite a awhile in the deep-freeze and past sensible espouse the left steps whenever you want to have fries.

Step 10: Cook at "Hi" Rut

Instantly, later our fries have frozen, we testament take them stunned and cook them again, merely this sentence at "hi" heat. between 390 and 425 degrees. And we will fry them for a minute or two until the fries look ilk the paradigm. You tail skip the freezing gradation if you like, but I found they turn over out a olive-sized better if you do follow information technology.

Step 11: Salt to Taste

Now, last step sharp your fries to taste. Something fun I like to do is take a brown paper sandwich sack, and roll belt down the edges to make a bit container, then put some french-fried potatoes in there and saltiness and throw off it capable do.

Step 12: Cost Crumble

Here is the cost break down. Costs wish vary dependant on where you live, and what kind of sales you can buoy find. And how practically you re-wont your oil. You can re-use it several times before it is counterfeit. Depending on how much it is used each meter. I generally put it back in the same container (but I won't mingle it with fresh oil) and store it in a cool moody commit, like my pantry. I strain information technology but not all the time, generally if I start seeing chunks of gormandise. Just you arse certainly strain information technology afterwards premier usance. The USDA, says for "best quality" store utilized embrocate in the icebox. But it isn't requirement. General guideline if it is dark in colourize, and smells bad. Don't use it once again. And if you coif store it in the electric refrigerator, it might get a little milky looking, that is ok, that will decease away, when it heats back up.
