Today we'll fry some potato fries at home to eat, as long as they are sealed and kept well, they can be eaten once. The key is that it's more economical to make your own. Three potatoes can fry a big pot. If you like it, you can try it.
If you want chips, you don't have to buy them. You can fry them at home, or you can fry three potatoes in one big pot
[Potato chips]:
How can potato chips not turn black, taste crispy and have good color? Without further ado, let's get down to business: I just bought potatoes from the supermarket today. When I buy potatoes, I try to pick some with smooth skin and rounded appearance.
Step 1: First, peel the skin
Cut the potatoes from a flat surface to increase the contact area with the countertop so they don't roll and accidentally cut your hands when you cut them. Then slice the potato vertically into thin, even slices to ensure the same degree of rawness when frying. After cutting, soak them in water to avoid oxidizing and blackening.
Step 2: Blanch
This is also important, blanching removes excess starch from the top so that they will be crispier when fried. Boil half a kettle of boiling water, drain the chips and pour them into the pot. The blanching shouldn't take too long, about 30 seconds. Once the chips are slightly transparent, pour them out. Rinse quickly with water and drain.
Step 3: Chips
Bring the oil in a pan to a boil. When the oil is 60% hot, drain the chips and pour them into the pan. The high oil temperature will cause the chips to expand and float quickly. This makes them crispier when they fry and won't draw in too much grease and make you retch. Keep pushing with a spoon to keep the chips evenly heated. Fry the chips and fish them out when they are golden brown to control the oil. Finally, place the chips on a plate, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and the delicious chips are fried. Squeeze a piece into your mouth and taste it. Very delicious.
Three potatoes fried in one big pot is much cheaper than buying chips. Moms with kids at home can put them away to try and fry them for their kids.
