## Double Frying for Ultimate Crunch
Professional kitchens often use the double fry method to get that enviable crisp without overcooking the inside. Here’s how it works:
1. **First Fry:** Fry the potatoes at a lower temperature (around 325°F or 160°C) until they’re soft but not browned, about 5-7 minutes.
2. **Rest:** Remove and drain on paper towels, then let them cool for a bit. This helps the fries dry out more.
3. **Second Fry:** Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C) and fry the potatoes again until golden brown and crispy, usually 2-4 minutes.
This two-step frying process seals the outside, locking in moisture for a fluffy interior and irresistibly crisp exterior.
## The Finishing Touch: Seasoning
Season your fries immediately after frying while they’re still hot. Classic sea salt works wonders, but feel free to get creative! Sprinkle on garlic powder, smoked paprika, Parmesan cheese, or fresh herbs like rosemary for an extra flavor punch.
## Bonus Chef Hack: Use the Right Oil
Choosing an oil with a high smoke point, like peanut oil, canola oil, or sunflower oil, helps maintain frying temperature without burning the fries, ensuring perfect crispness without bitter flavors.
## Try This At Home Tonight!
Follow these simple chef-approved tips, and your fries will go from average to extraordinary. Crunchy on the outside, soft and fluffy inside, with seasoning that makes every bite addictive — that’s the magic of finger-licking crispy fries.
