Fries? Without a doubt the dish that everyone agrees on, young and old gourmets alike. But to make them a success, you need to know how to prepare them properly. First, it is important to choose floury potatoes (Bintje, Agria, Caesar, Marabel, etc.). If you are a purist of fries, you can imitate the Belgians and use beef fat instead of vegetable oil.
Ingredients
Potatoes 1kg
Sunflower oil c/n
Cold water c/n
White vinegar 2 tsp
Preparation
Peel the potatoes and cut them into sticks about 1 cm thick (you can leave them with the skin on but you have to wash them very well).
Put the cut potatoes in a large container and pour water to cover them.
Add the two tablespoons of vinegar and mix a little.
Let sit in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes. An hour would be ideal.
Remove the potatoes from the water and dry them as much as possible (you can use a dish towel or napkins).
Heat the oil in a pot or a sauté pan suitable for frying.
Fry the potatoes in as many batches as necessary.
Enjoy the crispiest potatoes of all!
A simple and quick preparation. Try this way of making fries and you will see how leaving them in vinegar water changes everything. You will no longer want to eat fries that are not made this way.
