Crunchy Juicy Potato Fries

I learnt a trick in 2010 for the juiciest fries with a crunchy outside and creamy interior. From that point on, I never looked back. Two simple rules:

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Thoroughly wash the potato (no need to peel). Cut potato into fries, use a serrated knife if you’re feeling fancy

* Step 2

In a colander under running water, just rinse potato fries. Use a colander so that the water just runs through without soaking the potatoes. This is to keep the potatoes from soaking up water and becoming mashy when cooked

* Step 3

Place potatoes in cold water with salt and vinegar, making sure potatoes are completely covered by water. Blanch for 5 - 10 minutes (depending on thickness). This is a gentle simmer, do not be tempted to get them to a rapid boil for two long as it might break the potatoes before you even fry them

* Step 4

Drain potatoes dry then toss in some paprika and Chilli powder or seasoning of choice

* Step 5

In a shallow pan, heat oil enough for shallow frying in two batches. Fry each batch until golden and crispy. If you were double frying, you’d fry first for a minute, drain and cool fries on paper towels for approximately 25 - 30 minutes and re-fry until golden and crispy
