How to Make Crispy Homemade French Fries

Do you love the taste and texture of crispy homemade french fries, but every recipe you use turns out soggy? Follow these simple directions to perfect crispy french fries!

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• potatoes
• water
• oil
• salt
• flour

1. Cut the potatoes down to french fry size. I suggest slicing each to about a 1/2 inch wide and two to three inches long.

2. Fill a large bowl with water and about 2 tablespoons of salt. Place the french fries in the water and allow them to soak for at least 15 minutes.

3. While the fries are soaking, begin heating oil in deep fryer or large skillet. Remove french fries from water and dry with a paper towel.

4. Pour 1 cup of flour and 2 teaspoons of flour into a ziploc bag, then add potatoes by the handful and shake until french fries are completly covered.

5. Add french fries to hot oil and cook for approximately 4-6 minutes. Allow to cool slightly and serve warm.

Tips & Warnings

• Add extra spices to the flour to make spicy fries.
• Hot Oil is extremely dangerous, do not allow children nearby while you are frying.
