Recipe: French Fries

Recipe

1 Peel, wash, and cut your potatoes into "batons" of 3 1/2 inches long and a 1/4 inch thick. Make sure to choose potatoes suitable for frying, sometimes known as chipper potatoes, type maris piper.

2 Heat your fryer to 180C/356F, then carefully plunge a small amount of French fries (of the same thickness) and cook them for 4-5 minutes. Strain them and set them aside. Repeat this step until all your potatoes are done.

3 Just before serving them, heat up your fryer to 190C/ 374F and finish to cook your French fries, in small load. Your "pomme Pont-Neuf" are cooked when they have a golden colour and crispy texture.

4 When done, place them on some kitchen paper and season them with some table salt and serve them straight away.

Your French fries will be a great accompaniment to all grilled meat or fish, try them with mussels!
