Serves:
2
Preparation Time:
10 minutes
Cooking Time:
25 minutes
Total Time:
35 minutes

Step 1: You will need:

  • 2 potatoes, peeled and cut into thin strips
  • 750 ml vegetable oil, or shortening
  • some salt
  • 1 saucepan
  • 1 tray
  • 1 slotted spoon
  • some paper towel

Step 2: Preheat the oil

Before starting your French fries, preheat the oil on medium heat.

Step 3: Pre-fry the fries

Add some of the French fries into the hot oil. Fry them in batches if need be, as this will maintain the temperature of the oil. Cook them until a very light brown, which should take about 3-5 minutes. Remove them and place them on the paper towel to drain. Let them rest for about ten minutes before re-frying.

Step 4: Finish the fries

Increase the heat of the oil to a higher setting. Once the oil is hot enough, add the fries in batches, as before, into the pan. Fry for roughly 1 minute, or until they turn golden brown and crispy, then remove. Place onto a tray lined with kitchen towel to drain. Wait for the oil to heat up again before placing the next batch. Continue to fry until all the fries are cooked.

Step 5: Season and serve

Finally, season them with salt and serve hot. Garnish with ketchup, vinegar, mayonnaise, or any sauce you like!

    Nice! I will have these delicious fries as a treat! If you want a healthy alternative, try cauliflower fries, they are the best. Check it out http://www.101lowcarbmeals.com/french-fries-recipe

    And also, if you don't wait for ten minutes, you will have a charred burnt kitchen.

    I can't believe you are encouraging people to boil oil in an ordinary pan !! That is a total fire hazard, get an electric fryer

    1) choose a more floury potato - Maris Piper are ideal. 2) IMHO much better to par-boil the chips first, then shake to break up the surface a bit. The roughened surface is just fantastic. Then cook twice in oil. 3) If you want to go "to the extreme" (well worth it, I think), follow Heston Blumenthal's recipe (q.v.) and rest the chips in the fridge for 1/2 hr between each of the 3 stages.

    Because if not a 10 min wait, the fries will be too hot on frying the second time.
