Soaking potatoes ahead in warm water with sugar worked wonders, but borrowed technique from Alton Brown by first frying at deg. Had been looking for a "perfect" french fries recipe for a long time and this one is the closest to perfect yet! Such lovely crispy fries! I will never use another recipe!
The only change I made was that I drained my fries on a paper bag rather than paper towels; doing this makes them not as greasy. The sugar water really does work I cut my fries very thin because I like them xtra crispy and making them the normal way you pretty much have to cut them very thin to get them crispy Big mistake when using the sugar water! They were TOO crispy I cannot wait to make these again I will just make sure to cut them a lot thicker this time!
I was surprised by how well these fries tasted. I only ate a few need to lose weight but my husband inhaled the rest. He said they were the best fries he has ever had thats a big compliment because he doesn't really like french fries. I followed directions and they came out great but instead of seasoning the fries with salt I used McCormick Grill Mates Roasted Garlic and Herb seasoning.
It tasted great on the french fries. So I would suggest instead of just using plain salt on your fries, go to your spice rack and pick out a nice spice mix to put on your french fries. Seasoning salt tastes good too. All Reviews for French Fried Potatoes. Your daily values may be higher or lower depending on your calorie needs. Amount is based on available nutrient data.
