9)Heat oil for deep frying and adjust the flame to high once oil receives sufficient heat. Take a handful of potato strips and leave onto oil gently one by one.
10)In the beginning oil will splutter for few seconds due to moisture content present in potato. It will take 7 to 8 minutes for one batch of potato strips to get fried till golden and crisp.
11)Remove onto absorbent paper and sprinkle required quantity of salt. Serve hot crisp French fries along with ketch up’s.
Note :
- You can prepare a bulk quantity of French fries but remember to pack it in many small zip lock bags. While frying the potato take one zip lock bag and finish it off. Do not keep the remaining potato pieces again in refrigerator.
- As soon as you put the chilled potato pieces onto oil the temperature of the oil gets decrease that is the reason you need to fry them on high flame.
