Instructions
- Preheat some oil in a deep fryer or a pot to 300°.
- Add the prepared potatoes to a large container filled with cold water.
- Submerge the cut potatoes in the water and let them stand for about 10 minutes.
- Next, move the potatoes around in the water with your hand to get off some starch, and then strain them in a colander and rinse them well with cold water for 3 to 4 minutes.
- Let the potatoes drain off any excess water for an additional 2-4 minutes.
- Add a few handfuls of the cut potatoes to the hot oil and cook for 3 minutes. Move them around after 90 seconds. You may need to do this in batches.
- Remove the fries from the oil and keep them in the fryer basket or place them on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper.
- Turn the oil up to 350°.
- Add a few handfuls of the pre-fried potatoes to the hot oil and cook for 5-6 minutes or until crispy and browned on the edges. You can cook an additional 1 to 2 minutes to crisp up and brown more.
- Drain the potatoes in the basket for no longer than a minute and then transfer them to a bowl and toss with salt. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Chef Notes:
- Make-Ahead: These are meant to eat right away. You could keep them warm in the oven on a cookie sheet tray lined with parchment paper at 175° for 10-20 minutes before serving.
- How to Store: Cover and keep in the refrigerator for 3 days. Once they are cooked, they will not freeze that well.
- How to Reheat: Add the desired amount of pommes frites to a cooked sheet tray lined with parchment paper and bake in the oven at 350° for 3-6 minutes or until hot and crispy. You can re-fry in oil at 350° for 1 to 2 minutes or until hot.
- You can substitute for Yukon gold potatoes.
- Feel free to cut them thinner or thicker to your liking.
- Cook the fries for 1 to 2 minutes longer if you like them to be crisper and more browned.
- These would go incredible with aioli or comeback sauce.
- Pommes frites are classically fried in rendered beef fat, which can be hard to come by.
- For French fries, I prefer to fry them in vegetable, canola, or peanut oil. Feel free to use whichever oil you’d like.
