THE BASICS STEP BY STEP….

• Scrub or peel the potatoes
• Cut the potatoes into pieces shaped like fries – of course, you may also opt for wedges, slices or cubes.
• Rinse the fries with cold tap water: this removes the excess starch
• Pat the fries dry using a clean tea towel or paper towels
• Pre-heat the deep-fryer to 150°C
• Fries require double frying: first, fry them for 4 minutes
• Allow the excess oil to drain off on paper towels and allow to cool.
• Pre-heat the deep-fryer to 180°C
• Deep-fry the potatoes a second time until they are golden brown and crispy, which will take about 4 to 5 minutes.
• Sprinkle salt or herbs on the fries to taste

Tip!

Do not deep-fry too many potatoes all at the same time: we refer you to the manual of the deep-fryer for guidelines concerning maximum amounts.
