KITTENCAL'S EASY SEASONED HOME FRIES



Kittencal's Easy Seasoned Home Fries image

This is easy but the potatoes will need a few hours or overnight soaked in cold water, the garlic powder and seasoned salt may be adjusted to taste, I have left the cayenne as optional I like to add it in for a little heat, if you are not a garlic-lover then omit the garlic powder --- throw in some chopped green onions the last few minutes of cooking if desired :)

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for french fries, as they are low in starch and have a high solids content, which results in crispy fries.
  • Cut the potatoes evenly: This will ensure that they cook evenly. Use a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer to cut the potatoes into 1/4-inch thick slices.
  • Soak the potatoes in water: This will help to remove excess starch and prevent the fries from sticking together.
  • Dry the potatoes thoroughly: Before frying the potatoes, make sure they are completely dry. This will help them to crisp up.
  • Use a good quality oil: Use a high-heat oil, such as vegetable oil or canola oil, for frying the potatoes. Avoid using olive oil, as it has a low smoke point and will burn easily.
  • Fry the potatoes in batches: Do not overcrowd the pan when frying the potatoes. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Season the fries immediately after frying: This will help the seasoning to adhere to the fries. Use a variety of seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  • Serve the fries hot: French fries are best served hot and crispy. You can keep them warm in a preheated oven until ready to serve.

Conclusion:

Seasoned cheesy fries are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a batch of fries that are crispy, cheesy, and full of flavor. Whether you are serving them as a snack, a side dish, or a main course, seasoned cheesy fries are sure to be a hit.
