The importance of preparation
Everyone can and knows how to make french fries, but making them that look good on you is not the same. You will have found many times that they are left raw or you have overcooked them and this means that you do not get that perfect texture that makes them crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. There is a technique that we will now explain to you so that you can achieve perfect fries.
The optimal preparation
The preparation is already a key moment that can help us a lot to make good potatoes. Washing them in such a way as to remove as much starch as possible will help us make them crispier. Then we also have to wipe them with a paper to throw them into the pan with as little water as possible.
The key and decisive step
Once cut, comes the key and decisive step: we have to confit them. This means that we have to cook them with an oil at a moderate temperature, pulling on low for about 10 or 15 minutes with the peel with plenty of oil and, above all, covered. After the time, we will touch them and if we see that they break or almost, it means that they are ready for the second phase of cooking.
The final knock
Then, once softened, we will raise the fire and remove the lid. It’s about giving them a last strong point of cooking to achieve the crispy effect that we like so much. We will see that the oil begins to boil more intensely and we will move and dance the potatoes. Those that take on the optimal color will be removed.
The final trick
Another very important aspect is to throw the jump right after removing the potatoes from the fire. This will cause it to stick to the potato while the remaining oil cools. With this last step, all we have to do is taste them and enjoy their perfection.
