Why These Fries Beat Every Other Recipe

Ultimate Crispy French Fries We’ve cracked the code for the best fries—quicker, easier, and crispier than any other method. Twice-fried and golden, they come out crunchy on the outside and soft inside every time. Recipe guidance: • 3–4 peeled potatoes • 1 kg water + 10 g salt • Cornstarch for mixing + dusting • Oil for frying Steps: 1. Simmer potatoes in salted water 25–30 min until soft. 2. Mill hot potatoes, mix with cornstarch into a crumbly dough. 3. Spread dough into ziplock bags, roll flat, and chill overnight. 4. Cut into batons, dust with cornstarch. 5. Fry at 375 °F / 191 °C until lightly golden, remove, let oil return to temp. 6. Fry again until deeply golden and crispy. 7. Serve immediately with your favorite sauces. Key tips: • Chilling overnight sets structure for crispier fries. • Always let oil return to 375 °F between batches. • Dusting with cornstarch prevents sticking and boosts crunch. • Serve hot—the texture is best right after frying. 👉 Full recipe and method here: https://www.chefsteps.com/activities/ultimate-crispy-french-fries
