Step 2: Wash the purchased potatoes with water first, then use a paring knife to peel off the skins of the potatoes. First cut the potatoes into thin and even potato slices, and then cut them into evenly thick potatoes. strip.
Step 3. Put the cut potato strips into a basin, pour in an appropriate amount of water and soak them for about 5 minutes. The purpose of this is to soak out the starch in the potatoes. Then take out the soaked potatoes and drain them. Set aside.
Step 4: Boil water in a pot. After the water boils, put the potatoes in the pot and blanch them for about 3 minutes. When the potatoes are cooked and cooked, remove the water and set aside.
Step 5. After the potato strips have cooled, put them in the refrigerator for about half an hour. The potato strips that have been frozen in the refrigerator will taste even more delicious and crispy when fried in oil. And there will be no oil splashing during the frying process.
Step 6: Heat the oil in a pan. When the oil is 60% hot, take out the frozen potato strips from the refrigerator and put them into the oil pan for frying. Start frying over medium heat. When the fries are browned on the outside, take them out and drain away the oil. Next, continue to raise the oil temperature to 80% heat, then pour the potato strips into the pot again and fry again. When the French fries are golden and crispy, take them out and control the oil.
Step 7: After the fried fries are clean of oil, they can be plated and served with ketchup.
