All you need to make homemade fries is one or two potatoes per serving (depending on the size of your potatoes), vegetable oil (two to four cups of oil depending on how many servings you are making) and salt.
First, wash and peel your potatoes.
Cut each potato in half length wise.
Slice potatoes into even strips.
Heat oil to 375 degrees and carefully drop potato strips in, being careful not to crowd them (overcrowding your fries will cause breakage and uneven cooking. To use less oil, prepare in several batches). Fry until golden brown (about 5 to 10 minutes).
Remove from pot and drain on paper towels or paper bag (as you can see, a lot of ours broke into little pieces... but they still tasted amazing)!
Sprinkle with salt then put fries in the oven to keep warm while the next batch is frying. Serve once all of your fries are done!
Those look so yummy! My family used to make homemade french fries all the time when I was little. I need to try making it myself sometime!

Mmh, they look super delicious! Great idea to keep them in the oven to keep them warm! xxx
ReplyDeleteI once upon a time took a demo class on french fries at Williams Sonoma and they said the best potatoes to use were Russet potatoes for fries! I happen to have a bag at home and will so be keeping up this post when I try these later in the week! =) Thanks for the help! =)
