The correct way to make French fries:
Step 1: Peel the potatoes and wash them, then cut them into strips with a thickness of 0.8 cm and a length of 5 cm. Then put the potatoes in clean water and soak them for 3 minutes. After the potatoes are cut, they need to be soaked, so that the starch on the potato surface can be removed, thus preventing the potatoes from sticking to the pot.
Step 2: put a proper amount of water into the pot, boil the water, then put the potato chips into the pot, boil the potatoes for 1 min, then take them out and let them cool. When the potatoes are blanched, just boil them for 1 minute. If they are boiled for too long, the fried French fries will not be crisp.
Step 3: Sprinkle starch into the cooled potato chips, then put the potato chips into the refrigerator and freeze the potatoes for about 6 hours until the potatoes are completely frozen and hard.
Step 4: Put an appropriate amount of oil into the pot. When the oil temperature is 70% hot, put the frozen potatoes into the pot, fry them on medium fire for 90 seconds, then take them out, then heat the oil temperature in the pot to 80% hot, then put the potato chips into the pot and fry them for 1 min until the potatoes are golden brown. Then take out the pot and dip them in tomato sauce.
Tips for French fries:
1 After blanching the potatoes, you need to put them in the refrigerator for about 6 hours, because after freezing the potatoes, when the starch in the potatoes comes into contact with hot oil, the water in the starch will evaporate quickly and completely, thus making the fried French fries more crisp. This 1 step is very important, and it is also a wonderful trick for Master Hu to teach you French fries.
2. When frying potatoes, you need to fry them twice. The first time, you can fry potatoes, and the second time, you can fry potatoes with high oil temperature, which will make them more golden and bright.
3. You can freeze more potatoes at one time. As long as you want to eat, you can take some fried potatoes directly from the refrigerator.
