    Who doesn't love french fries??? Harmfully you say! It's a pity to die healthy too :-) And sometimes you can afford something like that if you stick to a healthy diet most of the time!
    First of all, I'll start by saying that it's not enough to buy an air fryer to make perfect french fries. A deep fryer helps, especially when a cooking thermometer is not available to check the temperature of the oil and the culinary sense is not yet developed to know when the oil is hot enough to add potatoes.
    There are many more nuances outside of frying.

    And so, to make great french fries at home:

    1) Choose potatoes with a high starch content, that is, one that boils soft. It is from it that the most crispy crust and tender pulp are obtained, and it also has a lower natural water content, which in fact is of key importance.

    2) As paradoxical as it sounds, potatoes should be soaked for 2-3 hours (up to 8 hours) in cold water before cooking to get rid of excess starch.

    3) After straining, the potatoes must first be boiled until half cooked and then cooled completely. The potatoes should be soft in the middle but not falling apart. In order not to go into long scientific rants, I will write only briefly: this activates the necessary enzymes and changes the chemical characteristics of starch, helps the french fries retain their shape during frying, do not darken, and get the consistency that everyone loves, it is creamy in the middle and nicely crispy on the outside.

    4) Fry in two stages, first at medium heat to make a crispy crust, and then at high heat to brown.

    5) Do not put too many frying potatoes at once, they will not fry properly, but will only draw in oil. The same applies to thoroughly heating the oil before frying potatoes and maintaining a stable frying temperature.

    6) Fry in vegetable oil, preferably rapeseed, corn, sunflower (although not the best for deep frying) or peanut oil, they keep the temperature very well. But some gourmets claim that there are no french fries tastier than fried on beef fat and they have a right to it! But I do not advise you to buy special fats for frying in a deep fryer, take pity on your health! It's full of trans fats!

    7) Salt the potatoes at the very end! As well as adding various seasonings or herbs. Immediately after frying, when the potatoes are still hot and the oil is still a little gleaming on the surface.

    Well, that's all! There are many more methods for making the "perfect" french fries, like double frying (no boiling), pre-freezing, the boiling and double frying method with cooling at each stage, and the like . .. But the method of cooking french fries described in this recipe is more to me everything fits and after numerous trials and errors justified itself!

    Good luck with your experiments!

    Ingredients

    • Potato
    • Vegetable oil for frying
    • Salt to taste
    Potato soaking and cooling: 4 hours Time for preparing: 40 minutes Total cooking time: 2 hours 40 minutes

    1) Peel the potatoes, cut into strips of the desired thickness. Rinse well under cold running water.

    2) Place the potatoes in a deep bowl and fill to the top with water. Leave it like this for 2-3 hours (up to 8 hours). Drain, rinse well under cold running water.

    3) Put the potatoes in a large saucepan and pour plenty of water and bring to a boil, cook for 3-4 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes, until half cooked, the potatoes should be soft, but not disintegrate.

    4) Drain and spread on a baking sheet or tray in a single layer. Leave until completely cool.

    5) In a deep fryer, pot or deep frying pan, it is good to heat a large amount of vegetable oil, necessary for frying potatoes. The oil should crackle, and if a cooking thermometer is available, the oil temperature should be 180°C for the first stage of frying.

    6) Dip the dried potatoes in batches, not adding too many at a time, so as not to lower the oil temperature too quickly, otherwise the potatoes, instead of starting to brown, will absorb the oil and as a result will be too oily. Fry over medium heat, keeping the oil temperature stable, until a crust forms on the surface of the potatoes.

    7) Increase heat and oil to 200°C if you have a cooking thermometer, and fry until desired golden brown, transfer French fries to a plate lined with several layers of paper towel.

    8) Salt to taste, if desired, add your favorite spices and serve immediately at the stage when both flavor and texture are at their peak.

    Bon appetit!
