Making fried potatoes is easy, but they get well for you is something else. And that perfect fries get you, it is another song. Really, these tips will change your life. You're going to see ...

5 tips for making crispy fries

  1. What potato is the best to fry?

    A young and fresh potato is always the best option, since the old papa gets soft and that does not help us because it says goodbye too much starch.

  2. How to get the potatoes to be crispy when frying them?

    After cutting the potatoes the size and shape that you like, a key tip is to let them stand for 30 minutes in ice water and inside the refrigerator.
    Once the rest time passes, it is very important to dry them well. Thus we avoid making a disaster in the kitchen.

  3. What is the best oil to make french fries?

    Always use neutral, sunflower oil, a normal one that serves to fry. Never do fried potatoes in olive oil , don't even think about!

  4. How much oil use for frying?

    The amount of oil we use has to be a lot, a lot, abundant oil and very hot to get perfect.
    Attention here, if we use little oil, this is going to burn, the potatoes are going to absorb a lot and will do us badly.

  5. What is the best container to make french fries?

    Great question. It is best to make fried potatoes in a pot, high, with a lot of space for the potatoes to be comfortable and do not splash oil unnecessarily.
    Popes have to dance in the oil. We don't care if we have to make 15 batches, I ask you a lot of comfort for them?

About the frying technique: important keys

The perfect technique for frying potatoes

Frying them twice is the secret of crispy fries ... How is this? We give it a first cooking, then we take them out and cool them in the refrigerator or let them rest for a long time. When they are cold we fry them again in hot oil. The result of this is going to be crispy fries by outside and well tender inside.
They will see how different the potatoes remain if we fry them twice, the difference is really impressive.

Pay attention at all times when frying

If we make several batches of french fries, we must rectify the amount of oil and its temperature between batch and batch. It is very important that we keep the temperature, that is, if we add oil between the batches we must wait for it to take temperature again.
Also, as always we prepare fried foods, we must be very careful.

Trick to remove oil potatoes

Once we already have all the lists, try not to gather them, but the steam of below softens those above and we do not want this. We must place the french fries in a container large enough so that this does not happen. Nor are we going to add the salt immediately, give them some time to cool a little and the salt is just going.

How to make crispy and non -oily fried potatoes

Technique for frying potatoes and not failing in the attempt

Total time 40 minutes

  1. Peel and soak the potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into strips, let them stand in cold water for 30 minutes and then dry them well! The latter is important, the potatoes must be completely dry before putting them in oil.

  2. Heat oil

    In a pot place plenty of oil and heat it well. Remember that it is very important that we do not spare with oil. We comment above the tips, it is important that the potatoes are totally submerged in oil. When the oil is hot down the heat before placing the potatoes.

  3. First frying

    Fry the potatoes to the point that they are only cooked. If they will continue with this recipe the potatoes should not be golden in the first frying since we will finish browning in the second, and this is the main secret for fried potatoes to be crispy. While the potatoes are leaving, they are placed in a container with cooking paper that absorbs the oil.
    This container must be wide, as we have commented above, so that the potatoes are not enrolled and softened.

  4. Let up

    They can take the potatoes to the refrigerator or leave them in a cold place to lower temperature. Popes must be totally cold (not warm) to take them to the second frying.

  5. Second frying

    We repeat the frying process, this time if we are going to ensure that the potatoes are golden. Eye! They do not pass, because if they pass they will soften again. Let cool 5 minutes before salt and then serve them warm!

2 sauces to accompany fries

Before starting we would like to have comments if they prefer fries with mayonnaise or ketchup. Great dilemma ...

Mayonnaise and paprika sauce

  1. Place 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise in a bowl. 
  2. Add the juice of ½ lemon, a hint of smoked Merken or ground chili and a teaspoon of paprika. 
  3. Stir well.

Mayonnaise and coriander sauce

  1. Place 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise in a bowl. 
  2. Add 2 tablespoons of neutral yogurt and ½ lemon juice. 
  3. Add some grated lemon peel and coriander.
  4. Perfume with a little olive oil. Stir well.
