What Makes it Perfect
The perfect french fry is a highly sought-after delicacy that many people consider the ultimate comfort food. A great french fry should be crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a good balance of salt and seasonings. The key to achieving this balance is to cook the fries at the right temperature and for the correct amount of time.
Choose the Right Potato
One of the first things to consider when making the perfect french fry is the type of potato to use. Russet potatoes are the most popular choice for french fries because of their high starch content, which helps them become crispy when fried. However, other types of potatoes such as Yukon Gold or Kennebec can also be used to make delicious fries.
The Process
Once the potatoes are cut, they should be rinsed and soaked in cold water to remove excess starch. This step is crucial in preventing the fries from sticking together and also helps to remove some of the surface starch, which can cause the fries to become limp.
After soaking, the fries should be dried thoroughly to remove any excess water. This is important because excess water will cause the oil to splatter and can also make the fries soggy.
Once dried, the fries should be cooked in oil at the right temperature. The ideal temperature for frying french fries is between 325-375F (162-190C). If the oil is too hot, the fries will burn on the outside and be raw on the inside. If the oil is not hot enough, the fries will be greasy and soggy.
Serve It Up
The perfect french fry should be served hot and fresh, as they lose their crispiness and flavor quickly once they cool down. Some people prefer to dip their fries in ketchup or other sauces, while others prefer to eat them plain.
In conclusion, the perfect french fry is a delicious, crispy, and well-seasoned delicacy that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. At Trellis, we love ours plain or with our special toppings. Come and try them out!
