  • Now in a tray or ziplock bag. use a zip lock bag if you are going to store the potatoes for a longer time and fry them as required.
  • Freeze the fries for a minimum of 1-2 hours. this helps fries turn firm.
  • Deep fry directly in medium hot oil till it softens and cooks the potatoes through.
  • Cool the fried potatoes completely.
  • In the second fry, fry on high flame till potatoes turn brown and crispy.
  • Drain the fries into wire racks once they are golden brown.
  • Sprinkle salt or spices of your choice on French fries.

  • Cut fries into 1 cm thickness.
  • Wash fries with water to remove excess starch on their upper surface.
  • Boil fries for 3 minutes so potato starch will hydrolyze and fries become white in color.
