Ingredients:
4 large Russet potatoes
Oil for frying
Salt and pepper for seasoning
Cold water
Ketchup
Mayonnaise
Directions:
1. Peel the potatoes, then, cut each potato lengthwise into 4 or 5 pieces, then cut each piece into sticks. Each stick should be about 1cm (1/2-inch) thick.
2. Rinse potatoes under cold water, then place potatoes in a large bowl and cover with water. Let soak for 30 minutes.
3. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
4. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 275-300F (135-150C).
5. Gently add the potatoes to the oil, in batches, and fry for about 3-5 minutes, until soft, but not golden, stirring and flipping the potatoes occasionally. Remove from oil and drain on a paper towel. Let cool.
6. At this stage you can freeze the potatoes and keep them until ready for use.
7. Heat oil to 400F (200C). Fry the potatoes again, in batches, until golden brown, about 7-8 minutes.
8. Remove from oil, transfer to a paper towel to drain. Season with salt and pepper.
9. Serve with ketchup and mayonnaise.
Notes:
• Best potatoes for French fries: do not use waxy potatoes, use starchy potatoes only. Russet potatoes are ideal for French fries.
• Frying potatoes twice is the best way to obtain the crispiest result.
• How to freeze French fries: after frying potatoes once, transfer them to a plate/tray and freeze them for 40 minutes. Then transfer to them to a freezer bag and freeze them for up to 3 months. When ready to serve, remove them from the freezer and fry them in batches at 400F° (200C°) until golden brown.

Haven’t had a refrigerator since November because of the pandemic. Snow storm hits and I’m running out of food to feed my family. Been stuck for a week and wasn’t able to stock up on food because of my refrigerator situation. Had 3 russet potatoes and some oil. Thanks for posting this video, made my family French fries for dinner!
Kuch bhi matlab. Chutiya sala
no refrigerator because of snowstorm. Put food outside.
Hope you are ok. 😊
@@mysteriousgamer5193 doing well now! Finally got our refrigerator!
@@jameswolf5513 yeah, I thought of that too but the stores got bought out before the temperature started dropping. Everyone was hoarding and anticipating the storm.

Forgot the water part. I can see you're not an expert on making french fries.
Exactly. Whats with the double frying? I only fry once and they come out crispy
No seasoning??
I'm 12 years old and learning new recipes I have learned french omelette,pancakes and learning fries and noodles and many more stuff this all work can come handy when I grow up and I can cook for myself

Fried rice is super easy you should try it! Even 10 yo can do one for themselves
yo my friend i am 13 i am learning cooking stuff too . becareful mate and be with someone while cooking cz its dangerous
I’m also learning to cook! I’m 14 and I’ve been doing it since I was about 10 cause my familly was never home 😂, somehow I don’t know how to make fries
@@hiiio3305 good luck and be safe
I followed this recipe and the fries were perfect! They were so crunchy and my family loved it. Will definitely do it again :)
God bless you and your family ♥️
@@hossamadel2020 czcams.com/video/o1Eo4qzzA8A/video.html
I used to fry them only once. After I follow this recipe.. it actually tasted different and better.
I have this recipe now the main one!
These fries are really perfect!

This is too much work but it's completely worth it.. I tried it and now I'm addicted
lmao voldemorts sister? XDDDDDDD
its not too much work just get potatos, cut them and then fry them. easy
@@steve-eg1ge they're talking about the 30 min rinse.. along with the double frying
@@mysticflow467 this is actually the shortest time I've seen...some recipes call for one to freeze them or refrigerate them overnight!! After watching those I searched, "fastest way to make french fries!" Definitely gonna try them!!
P.s. and they didn't require any extra ingredient like some have encouraged. I.e., like adding starch later in the process
@@richardjordan8054 ye i ended up doing this. i mean it's kind of the same outcome
Thank you for sharing this! 💗 I followed the recipe and the fries turned out really good😊
Me encantan todas vuestras recetas... Quedan perfectas. Y los videos están geniales.
After rinsing the starch i like to place in the freezer so the cold absorbs all the remaining water in the potatoes.
Makes them very crunch when frying.
Also works great when making potato chips.
Placing in the freezer like after cutting them or placing them in freezer after cutting as well keeping them in cold water for some time then putting them in freezer.
If u make a ton of chips after 1st fry u can put it in the freezer it keeps pretty well! u just need to pop them in the fryer at 400 and they will come out perfect!
@@w2cky400 I’m gonna start doing this
See, that’s the idea I like to do is the only method that works
@@w2cky400 is there a maximum time you can keep them in the freezer after the first fry?
I made it now and this is crispy And perfect you should try it 🤤
I really love these potatoes! Thanks for the new video tutorial!
First try following the super easy instructions and my kids loved them... Thumbs up!
I wondered why you fried it twice and I was a bit apprehensive about sprinkling powdery chili powder at the end but i followed this recipe exactly as instructed.
My fries really did turn out well. Better than what I normally make. Thank you.
french fries are always double fried
First fried so that it will be cook. Second for the crispy.
When I was a kid, I remember blanching the potatoes in salty water before frying. I used to fry it only once and it was nice and crispy. I haven't made fries in the last 20 yrs so I don't remember exactly...I have to try it again.
@@nabkill0134 when you blanch the potatoes, they will be half cooked already so no need of frying two times,
I fried it only once for around 15-20 minutes and they came out really good.
Turned out great! Thank you!!
Just made these now with my local supermarket white potatoes (UK) and they came out amazing! After the first stage of frying and once it had cooled down slightly, i placed my chips in the fridge for 5 minutes and then fried them for the second time.
It is wonderful. I'm running to the store and I'll cook it right now for myself and my little brother!
Thank you! This is the only recipe that perfect for my school project 😉😋
I haved tried this recipe..it's yummy and crushhh.Thanks
I’ve made this recipe 3 times and every single time have come out perfect! 😀
👌👌👌
Do I have to boil the whole potato first ? Then cut?
@@tuntunmausi8971 they will fall apart if you boil them
At which step you add salt to taste
Epic!! Gonna try these tomorrow or Friday!!
Amazing 10/10 turned out better than I thought, I need to make more

My 9 years old son makes me prepare this for him most Saturday’s. With him helping to make the cheese sauce. This has even become my best potato chips method of frying, very crispy. With this channel, I have discovered how to make easy fun meals with my child. Thanks.
Why are you taking orders from a 9 year old?
@@sharonknight1567 it’s there child when I was young like his age I loved fries

They look soooo good!
I remember I did when my siblings and dad went to work, and now, I came back to this! And the recipe is very easy!
Made like this twice now and PERFECTLY lightly crisped edges. Amazing outcome. 👏👏👏❤️ Thank you for this!
Honestly it all depends on the quality of the potatoes you have
It really does, I didn't notice it until I made fries with different kind of potatoes and the moment I bit into one, It was tasted like burnt baby food. Never again.
IDreamForReality fr I was like what am I doing wrong so when I was doing groceries for my mom I bought a different when and it tasted waaaaayyy better
@LOWFRAMEBLOX almost any starchy potato will work. Even waxy ones will usually work. Just dont put the oil too hot or else it might taste bad.
@@jonathanamate8265 which potatoes?
Honestly just put them in the fire. If you see it browning a bit fast, lower the first within 2 minutes and bring up the heat gradually. with this method tho they will be golden lol. If u want to wait longer and keep it on low to have that yellow look that’s good too
Wow I tried them they are amazing
Thank you so yummy and crispy 😋
Hey now I am cooking this I want to eat this with my mini burgers . I know this will be perfect. I saw this and I have tried it many times and it turned out perfect

@@lizzielyons2921 the best for French fries would be canola oil, peanut oil and vegetable oil sunflower oil will also work
Thsnks

Perfect! 😍 I literally h ketchup and a bag of potatoes and nothing else in my fridge. Except I plan to bake these in the COSORI myself, but everything else is perf!!
Hi Daniella, how are you?
Yummy, tasty, crispy... I need french fries now 😁😋But first... COFFEE ♨️☕️
Thanks! That's a great thumbnail photo!👍😀
Marty Rose hi
Looks perfect.
this is the easiest recipe I've seen. I'm going to try this one, hopfully they turn out as good as yours.
So the secret is to:
•Take out the starch from the fries
• Re-fry them
Blanching the fries before hand will ensure that there's no browning. It may lead to a more crispy fry.
Thanks for teaching me how to make homemade French fries! Those look super good!!

These crispy fries got me salivating, I love, love, love crispy, well-done fries☺️
Thank you so much for the video💕💕 I loved the fries and l love your content!! God bless you and your amazing food😊😊😊
Thank you so much 💓
So frying them 🍟 twice will give you the crispiest result?! Good to know! TYSM I normally fry them 🥔 just once 😆
Same
It's called blanching. Frying them for a few minutes will ensure that the outside stays that golden yellow and also a crispier outside.
If you didn't do this they still would be edible and nice just they'd feel store bought.
Hey man thanks for helping me make fries! This is my first time making them and they were pretty good in my opinion!
