HOW TO MAKE THE CRISPIEST HOMEMADE FRENCH FRIES

In this video, I show you how to make the most delicious, crispiest homemade fries.  They're super easy to make at home, and far better than anything you'd get at a fast food restaurant. 

INGREDIENTS

FOR THE FRIES

• 2 lbs Russet Potatoes

• 4-8 Cups (1-2 Liters) Peanut Oil

• Kosher Salt (to taste)

FOR THE DIPPING SAUCE

• 1/4 Cup Mayonnaise

• 1 Tbsp (17g) Ketchup

• 1/2 Tbsp (15g) Pickle Juice

• 1/2 tsp Paprika

• 1/2 tsp Chile Powder

• 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder

STEPS

1. Pour the oil into a heavy pot or dutch oven, about two to three inches deep. Heat to 350°F or about 175°C.

2. While the oil is heating, begin preparing the potatoes. Peel off about half of the skin in stripes and slice off the rounded edges.

3. Slice the potatoes into thin fries.

4. Once the oil is heated, add in the fries one small batch at a time (this recipe makes about 3 batches).

5. Stir the fries to prevent them sticking for the first 30 seconds - 1 minute. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until cooked through.

6. Scoop the fries out of the oil using a spider strainer and transfer to a wire rack lined baking sheet.

7. For the second fry, heat the oil to 400°F or about 205°C.

8. Cook the fries a second time for 30 seconds- 1 minute, or until crispy and golden brown.

9. Transfer to the wire rack lined baking sheet and immediately sprinkle with kosher salt.

10. For the dipping sauce, add the ingredients to a small bowl and mix until well combined.
