how to make home cook fries?

Answer 1

Try this one....I wont bore you with 3 pages of answer.

6 large red potatoes, skins on
Oil, for frying
1 large sweet onion
Salt and pepper

Using a large pot, boil potatoes with skins on until almost done. Allow to cool, and cut potatoes into long strips, approximately 1/4 to 1/2-inch wide and thick. In a large pot or fryer, heat oil to 350 degrees. Par-fry the potatoes for 5 to 6 minutes. Potatoes should be limp. Remove potatoes and place onto paper towels and allow to drain. Let sit for 1 to 2 hours at room temperature.
Cut onions into 1/2-inch wedges. Just before serving time, place potatoes and onions into oil heated to 375 degrees F for 3 to 5 minutes, or until brown. Remove fries from oil, drain on paper towel, and while still hot, season with salt and pepper

Answer 2

That depends on whether you want french fries, or actual "home fries". Home fries are simply cut-up baked potatoes (leftovers) cooked in oil in a skillet.
French fries are made by cutting up fresh potatoes, heating a large amount of oil, and cooking the potatoes in the oil, a few at a time, until golden brown. Because of the amount of oil this requires I've only done this once-I find that frozen french fries are more economical and taste better-and I don't have to worry about what to do with a gallon of leftover oil!

Answer 3

My mom always makes it like this:
Wash and peel the potatoes, then use an atomatic cutter or cut them in to frie shapes yourself.
Greece a pan with spray and preheat the oven 350 degrees farenheit.
Put the fries on the pan and bake in oven until crispy and golden-brown(about 10-17 minutes)....and enjoy!!!!
P.S. they are a lot healthier than any other fries....

Answer 4

Peel and rinse your potato's. Cut into french fries. Heat oil. Test oil by dropping one sliver of potato in oil. When oil is hot enough, add the rest of the fries. Stir to distribute. Do not stir to often or they will become gummy. Wait until one side browns then stir. Remove potatoes and season with salt, pepper and garlic powder

Answer 5

Home Cooked Fries

3-4 Medium to Large Irish potatoes
1-1 1/2 Cups of Self-Rising Flour ( to substitute for self-rising flour, for every 1 cup all-purpose flour, add 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder plus 1/2 teaspoon salt.)
3-4 Cups of oil will be needed (more or less)
Skillet and a good fitting lid
dressing, dip, sauces
Salt and pepper (optional--a salt substitute can be used in the place of salt)
Garlic powder (for seasoning, also fights against cholesterol)
Pure vegetable oil and extra virgin) olive oil (combine the two oils)
Choose either milk (high or reduced fat), beaten egg whites, or warm water (not recommended) to dip the fries in before they are coated with flour. It's all about personal preference; there's no right or wrong answer. If using egg whites, 3-4 should do the trick, but it will depend on the amount of fries.
[edit] StepsDo your preparations. Measure flour and sift or blend with a fork in order to remove any lumps. Have on hand a shaker bag (a small brown lunch bag will do), or have ready an area to roll the fries in flour. Have the skillet facing out and on top of the stove burner.
Slice the potatoes. Begin by slicing each potato in half, and slice each half in to thick wedges. Each half should make three to four thick fries, which is the goal.
Fill the skillet with oil, about half or even 3/4 near the top. It will need to be enough to totally cover the fries. The exact amount of oil you want will depend on the number of fries that one has chosen to prepare. One may only want to cook a few fries at a time as opposed to a larger amount. Use your own judgment on the amount of oil that will be needed.
Dip the fries in milk, warm water, or egg whites before coating with flour. Then use a shaker bag (or prepared area) to fully coat the fries in flour.
Turn the heat up to medium and allow the oil to get very hot, so that the fries sizzle upon being dropped in. Test the oil by dropping in one fry or a little chunk of wet flour.
Add in the fries, but make sure that you don't add so many that they touch one another. When the flour begins to turn light brown, reduce the heat a bit and cover. This allows the fries to fully cook on the inside as well as the outside. Repeat until all fries are cooked.
Serve the fries hot, for best results and taste.



[edit] TipsUsing a deep cast iron skillet is highly recommended. A lid will be needed to cover the skillet so that the hot oil will not pop out and burn someone. It is needed to allow the fries to cook thoroughly.
Any seasoning can be added directly in with the flour. Try paprika, oregano and/or seasoning mixes. Also, you can substitute some of the flour with breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan (any hard dry cheese) or cornmeal for a crunchy texture. You can also use various batter mixes (like tempura or samosa coating) instead of flour.
Home style fries will go very well with ketchup, salsa, Hellmann's (Light) Mayonnaise, or Ranch Dressing. Simply dip the fries or pour listed items on top of the fries.
Use your own imagination on seasoning the fries. Simply add any seasoning in with the flour that will be used to coat the fries.
Have a platter set up with a few paper towels to put the cooked fries on. It will aid in soaking up any unwanted oily taste. Also, you may lightly press paper towels on top of the fries to take off a bit more oil. However, if fries are cooked just right, there shouldn't be too much oil.
A can of chili is another good item that will go great with this recipe. Simply open a can of chili heat and pour over the top of the fries. Turkey chili is a low-fat choice.
For those of us that are cheese lovers, add some grated cheese (of choice) on top of the fries, before adding the chili.
Another great way to tastier home style fries is to melt some Velveeta Cheese in a pot, along with some jalapeño peppers. After it is fully melted and blended well, pour the cheesy sauce over the fries.
Sliced black olives can be added to the Velveeta Cheese sauce. It can be to replace the jalapeño peppers or added in with them.
