EASIER FRENCH FRIES - COLD OIL METHOD (COOK'S ILLUSTRATED)
These delicious, slender fries have a crisp exterior and a creamy interior, contain 1/3 less oil than traditional methods, and could not be easier to make. Recipe is from Cook's Illustrated (July, 2009) and the method is attributed to Michelin-starred French chef Jöel Robuchon. It skips the usual rinsing and soaking and you only need to fry once. You must use Yukon golds (Russets are too starchy).

Tips:
- Choose the Right Potatoes: Russet potatoes are ideal for crispy, fluffy fries. Yukon Golds yield creamier fries, while fingerling potatoes make great bite-sized snacks.
- Cut Evenly: Uniform fries ensure even cooking. Cut potatoes lengthwise into ½-inch thick slabs, then cut the slabs into ½-inch thick fries.
- Soak the Fries: Soaking fries in cold water for 30 minutes removes excess starch, resulting in crispier fries.
- Dry Thoroughly: Pat fries dry with a clean kitchen towel before tossing with oil. Moisture prevents fries from crisping.
- Use the Right Oil: High-heat oils like canola, grapeseed, or avocado oil are best for frying. Avoid olive oil, which has a low smoke point.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) before adding the fries. This helps ensure even cooking.
- Toss with Seasonings: Before baking, toss the fries with salt, pepper, and any desired seasonings. Paprika, garlic powder, or chili powder are popular choices.
- Don't Crowd the Pan: Spread the fries in a single layer on the baking sheet. Overcrowding prevents even cooking and can result in soggy fries.
- Flip the Fries: Halfway through baking, flip the fries for even browning and crispiness.
- Test for Crispiness: Insert a fork into the thickest fry. If it slides in and out easily, the fries are done.
Conclusion:
With the right technique and a few simple tips, you can make delicious oven fries that rival any restaurant version. Experiment with different potato varieties, seasonings, and cooking methods to find your perfect combination. Whether you prefer classic fries, wedges, or sweet potato fries, the possibilities are endless. So grab a baking sheet and get frying – your taste buds will thank you!
