The correct way to make French fries:
Step 1: Peel and wash the potatoes, and then cut them into strips 0.8 cm thick and 5 cm long. Then soak the potatoes in clear water for 3 minutes. After the potatoes are cut, they need to be soaked, so that the starch on the surface of the potatoes can be removed, thus preventing the potatoes from sticking to the pot.
Step 2: Put a proper amount of water into the pot, bring the water to a boil, then put the potato chips into the pot, boil the potatoes for 1 min, and then take them out and let them cool. After the potatoes are blanched, they can be boiled 1 min. If cooked for too long, the fried potato chips will not be crisp.
Step 3: Sprinkle starch on the cooled potato chips, and then put the potato chips in the refrigerator for about 6 hours until the potatoes are completely frozen and hardened.
Step 4: put the right amount of oil in the pot. When the oil temperature is 70% hot, put the frozen potatoes in the pot, fry them for 90 seconds on medium fire, then take them out, heat the oil temperature in the pot to 80% hot, and then put the potato chips in the pot and fry them for 1 minute until the potatoes are golden yellow. Then take out the pots and dip them in ketchup.
Tips for French fries:
1. After blanching, potatoes need to be frozen in the refrigerator for about 6 hours, because after freezing, when the starch in potatoes comes into contact with hot oil, the water in the starch will quickly evaporate 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.
When frying potatoes, you need to fry them twice. The first time you can fry potatoes, the second time you can fry potatoes with high oil temperature, which will be more golden and bright.
You can freeze more potatoes at a time. As long as you want, you can take some fried potatoes directly from the refrigerator.
