how to make crisp fries mine are good but just not enough crispy.....and pls also suggest some herbs that they put in that after frying it..

Myself I use a deep fryer just fry them longer then you have in the past just watch them. Once you figure out the color you want them to be it will work out.. You may need to cut the potatoes slices more narrow to get the crispy you are looking for.. Myself I sprinkle mine with pepper and garlic salt as soon as I take them out.

Actually you can sprinkle them with what every spices you like at times I sprinkle them with Lemon Pepper.... Or Cajun Spices....

LARD!!!

Best fried potatoes EVER!

***Fresh lard is best.

Peanut oil,
pre-deepfry them (called blanching) then let them sit a while.

then re-deepfry them till done!

BBQ steak spices on them is the cats meow

^^^^^^^^^^ This, it definitely works.

I don't care if they're crispy or soggy, as long as they're greasy.

And I can dip them in mayo...

The way we do it is ... White or Russet potatoes sliced into french fry desired thickness. In a large deep pan fry them in preheated (hot) vegetable oil until desired golden brown. I add a couple shakes of salt right in the oil while they are cooking. Mix then around a few times for even browning. Drain well, then spread on layered paper towels, also cover a couple minutes with a single paper towel before serving. Better then any fast food joints...3 teenagers can't be wrong!


Salt is all i like on them

Splash with vinegar is good

Always dip them in ketchup

Get a woman to cook them

ewwwwwwwww how dare you abuse a french frie with mayo

The magic trick is to fry them in beef fat!

..this.. you have to hit them twice.. if you are making your own..

Like I said... LARD! That stuff is magical!

I want some French fries!!!......

thnx for the help guys ...can't wait to try out your suggestions....thanks

soak them in water first before frying them

duck fat is the go

this works.
proven by experience.

If im making fries, i just whack the heat up, in standard vegetable or corn oil, cut the potatoes nice and thin. Perfect every time.

If im cooking chips (as in fish and chips not thin potato chips)
Then i do the following.

get the best potatoes, maris piper are perfect for this.

cut up the potatoes to about a 1cm thickness
put a pan or fryer on low heat with half oil, half beef dripping or lard.
lower the chips in, set the timer for 15 minutes.
When the timer pings, give the basket a shake. Turn the heat up to full. Let them cook for another 5/6 minutes until golden brown and crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside!

Place on a plate, add salt and vinegar.

Yum.

P.s. although they are basically the same thing, there is a difference between French fries and chips,in both taste and appearance. They both suit different meals. I prefer chips with a steak, fries with a burger.

That's the correct way to deep fry fries and 12 million Belgians agree
Then there are the sauces:
Mayonnaise ( the original french-fries sauce )
Andalus
Pili-pili
Brasil
Cury-Ketchup
Garlic sauce
Samurai
American
Ketchup
Harissa
Then there are french fries meals:
ff with beef carbonade
ff with chicken
ff with Vol-au-vent
ff with brochettes
and my favorite, ff a la steak sauce with mushrooms
