  1. Can i keep potato in cold water & in fridge whole night . . & Then make fries in the morning?

  2. Can we first dip the potatoes in cornstarch batter before putting them into the oil?
    How would they taste?4 stars

    1. You can do that but in my experience excess baking powder or the amount of baking powder you use regularly, will absorb oil. So, it won’t taste good.. keep that in mind and do..! This is my suggestion!!

  3. An all time favorite snack…. Double frying trick has been helpful though tedious….. Amazing clicks….. Your children are lucky 🙂5 stars

  6. Hi,
    I am far from being an expert but my hubby is the Regional Manager of the most sought after outlets for fries (MCD)
    Once we were making fries at home and I tried to make it in the same manner as most of the housewives will do, but then he told me one simple ingredient used by the chains all over the world.
    Corn starch or if not available use arrawoot
    Step
    First cut the potato’s.
    Let them soak in water for half an hour
    Drain them
    coat them either with corn starch or arrawoot
    and fry them !!!

    Yeppee you will have same crispiness

  9. Hi Dassana!

    Yumm, love french fries. especially when the weather is heating up outside. so easy and quick to make your own. I love that u sprinkled rosemary and chilli on top, great flavor combo. The shaks in Goa should take an example from your recipe. What they do here and what I dont like is that they add haldi to make them all yellow. I feel that spoils the taste of the french fries when u eat them with dips.

    What I do to get them all crisp is, I keep the cut fries in water with a dash of coconut vinegar (that helps a bit in crispening the fries) then I deep fry them first, take them out, leave them to rest 5 min and deep fry shortly again. That will make them super nice crisp outside.

    1. the shacks here serve horrible french fries. what you say is right, helene. i wonder why they add turmeric powder to the french fries. it does spoil the taste of the french fries. if they add some red chili powder, then it still the fries would taste good. i have to try the vinegar method.

  10. I like the addition of herbs, as well as chili powder! Somehow making me feel like it’s less oily… I know, just a feeling… haha.

  11. I boil the chips until it is tender but not cooked and fry them until it is cooked. Then I leave in the freezer for couple of hours and fry until it get nicely brown colour. This process helps to get crispy finger chips. My mother-in-low, she fries 3 times to get it right.

    1. i know some recipes ask for frying three times. i have made the parboiled version but i feel it is too much of time consumed in the kitchen. but will try to make a perfect parboiled version soon.

  12. Dassana,

    I tried this process, semi-boil potato fingers ;then fry them next day. You will get really nice crispy fries…
