🍟 *Homemade French Fries Recipe*
*Ingredients*
Potatoes – 3 large (around 500 g)
Salt – 1 tsp (adjust to taste)
Cornflour – 2 tbsp (optional, for extra crispiness)
Water – as needed (for soaking)
Oil – for deep frying (approx. 500 ml)
*Instructions:*
🥔 *1. Peel & Cut Potatoes*
Wash and peel the potatoes.
Cut them into thin, even strips (like classic fries).
🧊 *2. Soak in Cold Water*
Soak the cut fries in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
After 30 minutes, drain and pat them completely dry using a kitchen towel.
🧂 *3. Optional* – Coat with Cornflour
For extra crispiness, sprinkle 2 tbsp cornflour over the dry fries and toss to coat.
🍳 *4. First Fry (Blanching)*
Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat.
Fry the fries in batches for 3–4 minutes until they look soft but not brown.
Remove and let them rest on tissue paper.
(This step helps cook the inside.)
🔥 *5. Second Fry (Crisping)*
Increase oil temperature to high heat.
Fry the pre-cooked fries again for 2–3 minutes until golden and crispy.
Remove and drain on paper towels.
🧂 *6. Season & Serve*
Sprinkle salt (and optional seasonings like peri-peri, black pepper, or chaat masala).
Serve hot with ketchup or mayonnaise.
