Make French fries

Do you like French fries? Want to tell the truth? Haha, actually, I don't like French fries very much, but French fries are one of the "exotic products" that are easy to copy at home. Let me tell you about the last time I made French fries. It was delicious! I also have one or two secrets here, which I hope will be helpful to the subject.

First, we need to prepare some potatoes. When choosing potatoes, try to choose bigger ones with fuller shapes, preferably long ones, for reasons that will be mentioned later.

Then, we wash potatoes and cut them into strips. Remember that potatoes must be peeled (one of the reasons is that they taste better, and the other is that potatoes themselves are rhizomes that grow in soil, so peeling them will be more hygienic). Just now I said that potatoes should be picked in strips, because potatoes will shrink after frying, and if they are too short, they will be shorter, ugly and difficult to handle.

In fact, people in China eat with chopsticks of similar size and thickness. Yes, we take chopsticks as a reference. It's perfect to cut the French fries into chopsticks, and the fried ones are almost the same as those sold outside. We don't have to fry potatoes in a hurry. Let's soak them in water first, wash off the starch on the surface, and then drain the water.

Secondly, we pour the oil into the pot, fire it, wait until the oil boils (how to distinguish whether it boils depends on the smoke level of the oil and whether special bubbles begin to appear in the oil), turn down the fire (it is very important to turn down the fire), add the French fries, and after about two minutes, turn to the fire and start frying.

Finally, drain the fried potato chips until they are golden yellow. The intermediate temperature control is very important. Don't worry. It's safer to use a small fire when frying, and it's not easy to burn. When the potato chips are golden yellow, take out the pan and drain the oil.

You can also sprinkle some salt to taste while it is hot, and the original French fries will be fried. I hope it helps you.
