French Fries

Today am sharing with you a recipe,  for home made easy french fries for kids . It is  deep fried potatoes that are finger shaped.  My son always wants me to buy french fries outside. Being a vegetarian, I was little concerned about the oil they used to fry the fries. Usually, in restaurants or in fast food places, they use the same oil in which they also fry chicken. Hence I always dont want to buy it outside.  So, for my son, I tried making french fries at home. It came out very well and my son validated it being as similar in taste with restaurant fries ! Please try it and leave your comments.

Preparation Time: 15 minutes

Cooking Time: 30 minutes

Serves: 1- 2 kids

INGREDIENTS:

Potatoes - 2 medium sized

Salt and pepper - to taste

Oil - For deep frying

METHOD:

1. Wash and peel potatoes. Cut them in to thin finger like shapes. Soak them in cold water for about 20 minutes. It removes excess starch from the potatoes.

2. Now, drain the water well. Again, soak the potatoes in hot water for another 10 minutes. It allows the potatoes to get cooked slightly ,reducing the frying time in oil.

3. Now , in a clean cloth , allow the potatoes to dry well . 

4. Now, put the fries in a box after they are completely dried. And freeze them for 1 hour.

5. After an hour of freezing, take it out. Deep fry them in oil . Keep the flame in medium flame and fry for 1 to 2 minutes. You can see the potatoes are cooked slightly without much change in color. After frying, allow them to cool completely.

6. After the fries cooled down completely, keep the oil in high flame and fry the potatoes again,  till they change color to golden brown. Please be careful to adjust the flame from high to medium flame, as the fries may get burnt very easily. 

7.  Once the fries cooled down, sprinkle some salt and pepper. Serve French Fries with Tomato Ketchup !
