Many people love French fries, but most are used to eating it in catering establishments. In this case, you have to seriously overpay, because in fact these are ordinary potatoes fried in oil, and their cost price is quite low. If you cook French fries yourself, it will cost you much less, and it will not be inferior to the taste bought in fast food. And for this it is not at all necessary to have a deep fryer at home.
It is necessary
- 1 kilogram of potatoes;
- 100 grams of vegetable oil;
- salt to taste.
Instructions
Step 1
Peel the potatoes, wash, and then cut them into thin strips. That said, the thickness should be slightly more than the finished French fries we want, because they will become a little thinner during the frying process. Salt to taste.
Step 2
We take an ordinary thick-walled pan, pour 100 milliliters of sunflower oil into it (you can replace it with olive oil or some other vegetable oil to taste). We heat to a boil, the oil boils quickly enough.
Step 3
Dip the chopped potatoes into the boiled oil. It is important to note that by this time it should dry out a little so that the oil does not start splashing from water droplets entering it. Fry for 3-4 minutes, then take out with a slotted spoon.
Step 4
This is how you can make your own fries without a deep fryer - simple and economical. We wait a bit for the oil to drain from the fries, and serve this crispy, but soft inside dish to the table. For example, as a side dish for meat or fish, and it is not a bad snack for beer. It is best to gobble up such a potato with some sauce - tomato, cheese or whatever you like.
