The Perfect French Fries

Super Delicious

What’s not written about chips? They make us happy, there’s no children’s meal without them, they are good, they are bad – but mostly they are really tasty and can reach a supplement to almost any dish. Chips are available in all sorts of forms – frozen from the supermarket, along with fast food or a simple stand on the street. But the most fun is to make them at home. I’m not talking about simply taking a potato and throwing it into boiling oil. Making really good fries is an art that requires good raw materials, precision and patience.

As with anything popular in the universe – there is an ancient quarrel when it comes to chips. Many people mistakenly think that the source is French fries. Truth is these are a Belgian delicacy. However, the Spaniards, who were the first to crop potatoes in Europe – say that chips are originally Spanish. There is even a claim that Lithuanian Jews are the original source of chips. No matter who is right – chips are now widely used in most Western European countries: France, Belgium, Spain, Germany, England and of course the Netherlands (where they claim is the world’s tastiest fries).

?So what are the perfect chips

What really turns chips from a fried potato to a real delicacy for kings?

Real chips, such that it is impossible to stop eating is crispy on the outside, tender and juicy inside. It has a characteristic taste of potato and oil. They should be a slightly “full” and not powdery. It should not be too thin nor too thick – so that each crisp forms the same width. It should not be too hard nor a wimp. In short – it should be right in the middle.

?So how do we make the perfect chips

Potatoes

First of all, as I mentioned before, the most important part of chips is quality raw ingredients. This means we make it with potatoes that are suitable for frying: Potato Desiree (which is the potato that is red on the outside and yellow on the inside). It absorbs less oil and keeps a nice resistance during frying.

The potatoes cut into thick sticks a little less cm – assuring chips will be succulent, crispy on the outside and because it is not very thick – the inside will do well.

Oil

A very important part for making perfect fries, although olive oil is known as healthy and delicious etc. – is not suitable for real chips and no true French fries connoisseur will prepare fries in olive oil for several reasons. 1) It is very expensive. 2) It has a dominant taste. 3) Olive oil is not suitable (from a health point of view) for deep frying.

Therefore, we use vegetable oil for frying potato chips. The most recommended is canola oil or corn oil but soybean oil will do the job.
