I usually just buy frozen french fries and throw them in the deep fryer. I am the master at golden, crunchy fries. Here's what I do, but it may depend on how long it's been since you changed your oil(The longer it's been since you changed your oil, the longer the fries should be in), and maybe what fryer you have:

  • Heat fryer to 350 Degrees F
  • Put fries in for 3-4 minutes. Closer to 4 if there are more in the basket
  • Once time is up, bring up basket, jump the fries for about 10 seconds, place basket back in
  • Leave them in for 2 minutes
  • If needed, leave them in for another minute

There you go! Perfect french fries :3 This works for basically any frozen fries, great for when you're grilling.

Har, my mother has been doing something somewaht similar without more than the frying pot.
Originally the main point is that you can precook them, then finish the cooking once everyone is finally ready for dinner.
Basically a method to ensure the fries will be well made at the right time.

By the way, I'm French, and never understood why it was called French fries. Especially since potatoes aren't originally from France.

i googled it quickly and looky look what i've found !
"A Belgian legend claims that the term "French" was introduced when British or American soldiers arrived in Belgium during World War I, and consequently tasted Belgian fries. They supposedly called them "French", as it was the official language of the Belgian Army at that time.[12] But the term "French fried potatoes" had been in use in America long before the Great War.[citation needed]

Whether or not Belgians invented them, "frites" became the national snack and a substantial part of both national dishes — making the Belgians their largest per capita consumers[citation needed] in Europe, and their "symbolic" creators."

Some important steps in the preparation of excellent fries (or chips):

1) Soaking, to remove excess starch and sugar.
2) Drying, to remove excess moisture.
3) Ensuring the fries (or chips) are cooked quickly (high heat for a short duration).
4) Ensuring the inside of the fries (or chips) are properly cooked.
5) Using a fine salt before serving (if desired).

  • It is easiest to achieve #1 and #2, and control #3 and #4, by cutting the potatoes into "straws" (very narrow strips).
  • Soaking is done for 30-45 minutes, if I remember rightly.
  • Additional drying is done in very cold air (e.g. a fridge). About 45-60 minutes (or overnight), if I remember rightly.
  • Regarding salt, a fine grain salt (blending salt) helps ensure that the crystals will adhere to the fries (or chips).

^ Good advice!

Additionally, plenty of vinegar (and maybe a bit of coarsely ground sea salt) is a necessity for A++ chips :)
