My French fries are made from potatoes of Cyprus, mostly of the Spunta variety and grown on red soil, famous for their excellent flavour and firm texture. I also like to double fry them for 2 reasons. First to give that wonderful crust on the outside without sacrificing the nice moisture of the inside Secondly, you save time when having to cook a lot of them along with other dishes, thus part of the cooking has been done beforehand.

Cuisine: Vegan

Keyword: Food Recipes, Pleasures, Potatoes

Servings: 6 People

Ingredients

• 4 medium Potatoes , Spunta variety
• Vegetable Oil , like corn oil
• Sea Salt

Instructions

• Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them evenly and place them in a bowl filled with cold water for 2 hours so that the excess starch is removed and to keep them from browning. Removing the starch helps in making the fries crispier.
• Take out of the water and dry them with a towel. Keep them out for 10 minutes to ensure that they have dried from the water so that we keep the oil from splattering.
• Set a medium to large frying pot or saucepan over high heat, if you have a thermometer try to reach 165 degrees C.
• Fry them for 3-4 minutes to achieve softness but not browning them. Remove the potatoes with a metal slotted spoon and drain on brown paper towels.
• When you are ready for the 2nd frying, set the same frying pot or saucepan over high heat, if you have a thermometer try to reach 190 degrees C and put in the fried potatoes to the oil. Cook time for the second time is 4 minutes until golden and crispy.
• Drain on paper towels and then place in a serving dish lined with paper towels.
