PERFECT FRENCH FRIES
Steps:
- Peel potatoes and square off sides and ends. Cut lengthwise into 1/3-inch-thick slices, and then cut into 4-by-1/3-by-1/3-inch sticks using a sharp knife or a mandolin. Place in a large bowl and add cold water to cover by 1 inch, then let soak in the refrigerator at least 4 hours or up to 24 hours. Drain potatoes and spread on a clean kitchen towel and dry completely, patting off as much water as possible.
- Line baking sheets with a double thickness of paper towels. Heat 2 inches of oil in a heavy stockpot over medium heat to 300 degrees on a deep-fry thermometer. Working in batches and using a spider, lower potatoes into the oil (the temperature will drop significantly and slowly climb up again) and stir to separate. Cook just until softened (test one by breaking it in half; it should be almost completely cooked through), but not brown, about 3 minutes. Use a spider or slotted spoon to transfer to one of the prepared baking sheets to drain, spreading in a single layer. Allow oil to return to 350 degrees between each batch. (The potatoes can be blanched and left to drain on the prepared baking sheets for 4 hours in the refrigerator before finishing, replacing the paper towels as necessary.)
- Heat oil to 350 degrees.
- Again working in batches, add blanched potatoes to oil (the temperature will drop to about 340 degrees) and stir to separate. Cook until golden brown, 4 to 4 1/2 minutes; if desired, add the rosemary and lemon zest during the last 20 seconds of cooking. Use a spider or slotted spoon to transfer to prepared baking sheets to drain (replace paper towels if you are using the same baking sheets as above). Allow oil to return to 350 degrees between each batch.
- Sprinkle with salt and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 375º. Wash the potatoes, and dry them with paper towels. Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half lengthwise into three equal wedges, and put them in a large mixing bowl. Add the oil to the mixing bowl, reserving one tablespoon. Toss the potatoes in the oil to coat them. Combine the barbecue seasoning and corn starch in a small bowl, and mix well with a fork or small whisk. Add the seasoning and corn starch mixture to the bowl and stir the potatoes to coat them evenly. Oil a large lipped sheet pan well with the reserved oil. Pour the potatoes on the oiled pan and arrange them so that they each wedge is sitting on the skin side (cut sides up). Bake for 45 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are the best choices for French fries because they have a high starch content and will produce crispy fries.
- Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
- Soak the potatoes in cold water: This will remove excess starch and help the fries crisp up.
- Dry the potatoes thoroughly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking together.
- Use a high-quality oil: A good option is vegetable oil, canola oil, or peanut oil.
- Heat the oil to the right temperature: The oil should be hot enough to fry the potatoes without burning them. 325 degrees Fahrenheit is a good starting point.
- Fry the potatoes in batches: This will prevent them from sticking together.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: This will also prevent the potatoes from sticking together.
- Cook the potatoes until golden brown and crispy: This will take about 3-4 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes on paper towels: This will remove excess oil.
Conclusion:
Mojo French fries are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following the tips above, you can make sure that your fries are crispy, golden brown, and irresistible. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty snack, give Mojo French fries a try.
