Ingredients:
4 large Russet potatoes
Oil for frying
Salt and pepper for seasoning
Cold water
Ketchup
Mayonnaise
Directions:
1. Peel the potatoes, then, cut each potato lengthwise into 4 or 5 pieces, then cut each piece into sticks. Each stick should be about 1cm (1/2-inch) thick.
2. Rinse potatoes under cold water, then place potatoes in a large bowl and cover with water. Let soak for 30 minutes.
3. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
4. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 275-300F (135-150C).
5. Gently add the potatoes to the oil, in batches, and fry for about 3-5 minutes, until soft, but not golden, stirring and flipping the potatoes occasionally. Remove from oil and drain on a paper towel. Let cool.
6. At this stage you can freeze the potatoes and keep them until ready for use.
7. Heat oil to 400F (200C). Fry the potatoes again, in batches, until golden brown, about 7-8 minutes.
8. Remove from oil, transfer to a paper towel to drain. Season with salt and pepper.
9. Serve with ketchup and mayonnaise.
Notes:
• Best potatoes for French fries: do not use waxy potatoes, use starchy potatoes only. Russet potatoes are ideal for French fries.
• Frying potatoes twice is the best way to obtain the crispiest result.
• How to freeze French fries: after frying potatoes once, transfer them to a plate/tray and freeze them for 40 minutes. Then transfer to them to a freezer bag and freeze them for up to 3 months. When ready to serve, remove them from the freezer and fry them in batches at 400F° (200C°) until golden brown.

Haven’t had a refrigerator since November because of the pandemic. Snow storm hits and I’m running out of food to feed my family. Been stuck for a week and wasn’t able to stock up on food because of my refrigerator situation. Had 3 russet potatoes and some oil. Thanks for posting this video, made my family French fries for dinner!

After rinsing the starch i like to place in the freezer so the cold absorbs all the remaining water in the potatoes. Makes them very crunch when frying. Also works great when making potato chips.

Honestly just put them in the fire. If you see it browning a bit fast, lower the first within 2 minutes and bring up the heat gradually. with this method tho they will be golden lol. If u want to wait longer and keep it on low to have that yellow look that’s good too
Just made these now with my local supermarket white potatoes (UK) and they came out amazing! After the first stage of frying and once it had cooled down slightly, i placed my chips in the fridge for 5 minutes and then fried them for the second time.

It's called blanching. Frying them for a few minutes will ensure that the outside stays that golden yellow and also a crispier outside. If you didn't do this they still would be edible and nice just they'd feel store bought.
Thank you so yummy and crispy 😋
The most cleanest and fresh french fries I ever seen
So the secret is to: •Take out the starch from the fries • Re-fry them

Blanching the fries before hand will ensure that there's no browning. It may lead to a more crispy fry.
