Step 1
Choose several large potatoes that don't have any bruising or discoloration. It doesn't matter what kind of potato you use; they all cook the same, so it's just a matter of personal preference.
-
Step 2
Wash the potatoes thoroughly under cool water. If you choose to, you can peel the potatoes before washing them.
-
Step 3
Slice the potatoes into strips. Soak the potato strips in cool water immediately after slicing to prevent them from turning brown. Pat the potatoes dry before frying.
-
Step 4
Decide what type of oil you want to cook your fries in. Different oils will give the French fries different flavors.
-
Step 5
Heat oil in a deep fryer until it reaches 320 degrees. Add a small amount of potatoes to the fryer basket and blanch them.
-
Step 6
Increase the temperature to 360 degrees. Cook the French fries to desired crispiness.
-
Step 7
Repeat Steps 5 and 6 with the remainder of the potato strips. When all of the fries are cooked, season them and serve.
