Easy Homemade French Fries Recipe Video
Summary
Difficulty LevelVery EasyHealth IndexJust Enjoy
Ingredients
Idaho or white potatoes (1 potato per person)
Sea Salt or Tony’s Creole Seasonings
Canola or Vegetable Oil
Directions
The Potatoes:
Thoroughly scrub the potatoes and leave skin on or peel the potatoes.
Cut a piece off one end of the potato so that it will fit flatly on a cutting board.
With a sharp paring knife, cut potato into 1/4″ to 1/2″ slices.
Then, lay flat on the cutting board and cut into strips.
Cut evenly as possible for even cooking time.
Place in a bowl of cold water. Drain.
Place back in a bowl in the freezer for about 30 minutes.
The Oil:
Using a heavy bottom deep pot, skillet, or electric fryer, pour in fresh canola or vegetable oil.
Always be careful to leave 2-4” from the top to leave room for the oil to bubble up.
Optimal temperature is 350 to 375 degrees.
An electric fryer either has an automatic temperature setting or a button to help you.
If you are using a regular pot and do not have a thermometer, drop a small amount of a potato into the oil.
If it bubbles up quickly, the oil is ready.
Deep Frying:
Once the oil is properly heated, carefully drop catfish into the oil.
Be careful not to overcrowd the pan. Potatoes should freely move around.
Potatoes should be golden brown and probably will be floating to the top of the oil.
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain excess oil on layers of paper towels.

Hi Beryl,
Your homemade French fries look superb ! They are so simple to make. I'd like to try these with normal salt and pepper seasonings in case I don't find creole seasoning.
