DIY fries

Ingredients

Directions

1. 1

   Peel and wash the potatoes and first cut them into slices about 1.5 cm thick. Then cut the slices lengthwise into about 1.5 cm thick sticks.

2. 2

   Immediately place the potato pegs in a bowl of cold water and leave them there for about 15 minutes. Then dab the potato pegs very well dry.

3. 3

   Heat the oil or frying fat in a deep fryer or in a wide high pot to approx. 140 °C.

4. 4

   Add 5-6 portions of potatoes to the hot oil with a skimmer and pre-fry for about 3 minutes each. This makes the fries nice and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

5. 5

   Fish it out again with a skimmer, let it drain and put it on kitchen paper. Leave to cool for about 15 minutes. Remove the pot of oil from the stove.

6. 6

   Now heat the frying oil to approx. 170 °C. Fry the French fries a second time in portions for 2-3 minutes until crispy golden brown. Lift out with a skimmer. Let it drip off on kitchen paper.

7. 7

   Pour the fries into a bowl. Sprinkle with fine sea salt and shake gently.
