3. Wheat flour and cornstarch as the secret of the crunchiness of french fries

Namely, wheat flour and corn starch play an almost essential part in cooking when you want to make crispy foods by frying. So if you are planning to make delicious crispy french fries at home, don’t miss this piece of advice!

Ingredients

• 120 g of wheat flour or corn starch (for example Maizena)
• 4 large potatoes
• 250 ml of olive oil for frying
• 2 teaspoons salt
• Large frying pan

Preparation instructions

1. Start by peeling, cutting and washing the potatoes. This time, you can cut the potatoes into slightly thicker slices, as the flour you choose (wheat flour or cornstarch) will do the work for you.
2. Spread the wheat flour or cornstarch on a plate and roll each slice of potato in the flour.
3. Next, heat the olive oil in a pan. When the oil is hot enough, add the potatoes to the set.
4. Let the potatoes fry evenly until golden brown. Remove the finished potatoes from the pan and squeeze out any excess fat with kitchen paper. Finally, season with salt and serve as is.

4. French fries crispy with salt

Salt is also one of the most used cooking techniques for making food as crunchy as possible. In this recipe, you can apply the ingredients and method of preparation of any of the recipes presented earlier.

1. As with previous recipes, start by peeling, cutting and washing the potatoes. Then let the potatoes soak in a small amount of water for at least 5 minutes.
2. Carefully squeeze out excess water from the potatoes, for example with kitchen paper. This is an important step, as you may accidentally burn yourself during the frying phase when the water coming off the potatoes comes in contact with the hot oil and starts splashing around.
3. Sprinkle salt over potatoes before frying.
4. Then heat a frying pan or saucepan, add the oil and, as the oil heats up, the potatoes. Let the potatoes fry until golden brown.
5. Finally, remove the pan or pan from the heat and squeeze the excess fat off the potatoes. Serve these french fries immediately, as salt can make them slack when cooled.
