Amazing Homemade Fries!

Delicious fries, quick and easy, minimal ingredients!

Ingredients

• Potatoes- medium to large, your choice how many
• lots of cooking oil or olive oil, enough to completely cover the fries
• seasonings- my favourites are: salt, pepper and dried garlic 🙂
• make sure you’re very careful as the oil tends to spray!
• utensils:
• ~a deep pan (eg sauce pan)
• ~something to take the fries out (eg skimmer, preferably metal)
• ~a plate with lots of paper towels on it, to get rid of excess oil
• ~serving plate
• ~knife
• ~chopping board
• ~wooden spoon (optional)

Instructions

STEP 1:

1) wash and peel the potatoes

STEP 2:

2) cut the potato in half horizontally and continue to cut into frie-shapes

STEP 3:

3) pour the oil into a pan and turn the gas onto high

STEP 4:

4) to check if the oil is hot enough, take a wooden spoon and put the end of the handle in- if air bubbles form around it, the oil is ready!

STEP 5:

5) put the fries in, carefully and in batches, with the skimmer. Let them cook in the oil, making sure they’re completely covered, and keeping a constant eye on them.

STEP 6:

6) when the fries start to float to the top, they’re ready to be taken out. Carefully transfer them with the skimmer to the towel- covered plate and let the oil get sucked up by the towels. **do not touch the fries! They’re very hot at this point**

STEP 7:

7) when all your fries are cooked, drained and cooled, season them how you like.

STEP 8:

8) they’re done! Serve them your own way- you can make them into cheesy fries, use them as a side dish or eat them alone with loads of ketchup! 🙂
