🍳 Instructions:

Step 1: Cut the Potatoes

1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into long, even strips (like French fries).

2. Try to keep them uniform in thickness (about 1/4 inch) for even cooking.

Step 2: Soak in Ice-Cold Water

1. Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of ice water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes.

2. This removes excess starch and helps in achieving crispiness.

Step 3: First Fry (Blanching)

1. Drain and pat the fries dry using a clean kitchen towel.

2. Heat oil on medium heat. Fry the potatoes in batches for 2-3 minutes until they are soft but not golden.

3. Remove and let them cool completely (you can even refrigerate or freeze them for later).

Step 4: Second Fry (Crisping)

1. Heat the oil again, this time on high flame.

2. Fry the pre-cooked fries until golden brown and crispy (about 3–4 minutes).

3. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle salt immediately.

💡 Tips for Perfect French Fries:

• Use starchy potatoes (like Russet or Chipsona) for best results.

• Double frying gives perfect crispness — don’t skip it!

• Don’t overcrowd the pan while frying.

• You can season with peri-peri masala, chaat masala, or garlic powder for extra flavor.

• Add 1 tbsp cornflour before the second fry for even more crispiness.

❓ FAQs:

Q. Can I bake or air-fry French fries?
A. Yes! Toss in a little oil and bake at 200°C for 30–35 mins or air-fry at 180°C for 20 minutes, shaking halfway.

Q. Why are my fries not crispy?
A. Likely reasons: too much moisture, not double-fried, or oil wasn’t hot enough during the final fry.

Q. Can I freeze French fries?
