HOMEMADE CRISPY SEASONED FRENCH FRIES



Homemade Crispy Seasoned French Fries image

My family loves French fries and with 4 children the bag fries from the store just weren't enough and became too expensive. So I tried batter - after all it makes chicken, shrimp, and onion rings crispy so why not potatoes. Now even my husband can't get enough of these French fries. They even stay crispy when you reheat in the microwave.

2 large baking potatoes (about 1 1⁄2 pounds, scrubbed well
1⁄4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon Emeril's Original Essence or Creole Seasoning
3⁄4 teaspoon salt
1⁄4 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

While the potatoes are cooking, combine the cheese, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and the remaining 1⁄2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl and stir to blend. 4. When the potatoes are crisp and brown, remove them from the oven and transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle the potatoes with the Paprika-Parmesan Salt, and serve hot. Yield: 4 to 6 servings

Provided by Missy2u

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 3/4 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes*
1 tablespoon canola or olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
Or substitute a 28-ounce bag of frozen fries for the fresh potatoes. If frozen exclude the oil.

Steps:

  • Peel the potatoes and cut into fries of equal thickness, no more than 2/3 inch in square thickness recommended. Rinse fries thoroughly in water; drain well. Use a clean kitchen towel to thoroughly dry the fries. Place the fries in the ActiFry Pan, or your air fryer. Drizzle evenly with the oil.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes are best for crispy French fries because they are low in starch and have a high solids content.
  • Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Soak the potatoes in cold water: This will help remove excess starch and make the potatoes crispier.
  • Dry the potatoes thoroughly: This will help them crisp up in the oil.
  • Use a high-quality oil: Canola oil, vegetable oil, or peanut oil are all good choices for frying French fries.
  • Heat the oil to the right temperature: The ideal temperature for frying French fries is between 325°F and 375°F.
  • Fry the potatoes in small batches: This will help prevent them from sticking together and will also help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the fryer: This will also help prevent the potatoes from sticking together.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are golden brown: This will take about 3-4 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes on paper towels: This will help remove excess oil.
  • Season the potatoes with salt and pepper: Or other seasonings of your choice.

Conclusion:

Making crispy French fries at home is easy if you follow a few simple tips. By choosing the right potatoes, cutting them evenly, soaking them in cold water, drying them thoroughly, using a high-quality oil, heating the oil to the right temperature, frying the potatoes in small batches, not overcrowding the fryer, cooking the potatoes until they are golden brown, draining them on paper towels, and seasoning them with salt and pepper, you can make crispy French fries that are just as good as the ones you get at your favorite restaurant.
