Preparation of the potatoes
Grab a notebook and pen, and play the video to discover all Ada Parellada’s secrets to achieving perfect fries. The first step is to cut the potatoes to the size you want. There is no need to peel them, as the chips can be eaten with the skin on without any problems. In addition to being good for your health, it saves you work. Try to cut them to the same size so that the cooking is uniform in all the potatoes. Once cut, leave them submerged in water for at least half an hour, but if you can, leave them overnight. This will make the potatoes more crispy and tasty.
The secret of cooking
When half an hour has passed, or you take the potatoes out of the fridge after leaving them overnight, it’s time to fry them. Before putting them in the pan, make sure they are completely dry. Use kitchen paper to dry them well, as water and oil do not mix well. Put a good amount of oil in the pan and add the potatoes when the oil is still cold. This will allow the potatoes to absorb less oil and become crispier. If you have a cooking thermometer, fry the potatoes until the oil reaches 150 degrees. If you don’t have one, simply fry the potatoes until they are golden brown. Once cooked, remove them from the pan and wipe the excess oil with kitchen paper. This is the perfect time to add salt as the potatoes are hot and the salt will stick to the surface better. Serve the potatoes with the sauce you like best and enjoy some perfect fries.

Now that you know Ada Parellada’s secrets to perfect fries, put these tips into practice and amaze everyone with your culinary talent. With a little attention to detail and the right steps, you can enjoy fries that are golden and crispy on the outside, but soft and fluffy on the inside. Bon Appetit!
