Question

how to make crisky french fries

Answer 1

French women are beautiful. Ottoman padisahs were aware of this fact.

Answer 2

Do you have the bagged frozen ones, or are you cutting your own with potatoes?
do you have a deep fryer? if you do that would be great, if not let me tell you.
If you have a large frying pan, or wok you can fill it with oil, and heat it, do not let the oil get too much but make sure that it is hot enough to cook. Test the oil with a fry, and if the oil starts to bubble around it, then the oil is ready. Put your fries in the oil and let it fry with a rapid movement until they turn golden brown. Immediately remove from oil and place on a plate with a paper towel on top to soak any excess oil.
IF: you do not want to fry in oil, then you can bake in the oven with directions on the back (if using the already cut, frozen fries)
Add salt/pepper/ketchup, whatever you would like.

Enjoy!!!

Answer 3

Keep a bowl of water, add salt in that water, 2-3 lemone juice in water then cut the potato fingers in the same bowl, leave them in water for 10 mins then soak them in a cotton or muslin cloth and then deep fry them. It will be crispy like Mcdonalds french fries.

Answer 4

When u fry it in oil then add a pinch of salt in oil to make crispy french fries.

Answer 5

Let raw potatoes stand in cold water for at least a half-hour before frying in order to improve the crispness of French-fried potatoes. Dry potatoes thoroughly before adding to oil.

Answer 6

stand cut potatoes in plenty of cold water for at least half an hour,.drain & wrap in a kitchen towel,to remove excess moisture.,have ready deep fat,well heated,drop in some of the fries enough to cook comfortably,lift out partially fried & set aside.When ready to serve re-fry in hot oil,batch by batch,turn occasionally,lift out & drain on kitchen towels when surface turns a light golden colour,sprinkle salt before serving,do not allow to cool,this will ruin the crispness.

Answer 7

Cook's Illustrated latest issue did an article on that very same thing.
They have you soak the potatoes in cold water.
Rinse them and pat them dry.
Dust them with cornstarch. (This is what makes them crisp)
Fry them once, take out before they are done, then fry them a second time.
I have done all of the above when making mine, except for the cornstarch, so I will try that the next time I make them.
