What's your recipy? got any tips for making them?

I don't really have an recipy I just make them,but let's say

6 potatoes
salt

that's good,now all we need is to cook them :-)

cut the potatoes to the classical size(i forgot what is was :-P but i do the cutting with a mandolino,it's a good buy :) btw) and dry them carefully.Then you just deep fry them(a deep fryer with a digital thermometer is a good buy as well:)),but the tempature in what to fry is the question here,i've seen so many different tempatures in different recepies,but usually you get the best result by using the hottest oil possible,and deep frying them about 5 mins and then increasing the tempature and taking them out just as they are the right colour.And then you add salt :)


edit: i read somewhere that french fries are orginally from belgium?? well close enough and they do speak french there as well,don't they? :-P

yupp perfect recipe
get in the car and go up the street to mcdonalds

yep or bugerking

I don't like those fries they sell in any of the fastfood places,and think it's really worth while making them at home :-) they just taste much better! but slackers can continue visiting mcdonald's etc

Home cooked fries. Better they are

I like to make 'em as Welsh chips, AKA steak fries with skin and seasoned to taste.

sweet potatoe french fries..mmmmmmm yumy

I loked for your description of mandolino for french fry cutters,when I redid the word (mandoline), I found those,just to let you know a missspelling of that word,no big deal,Thanks for the info.
