Ingredients
Potatoes
- 500 gm Potatoes russet or yukon gold
Seasoning and Flavor
- 1 Tbsp Flax Seeds roasted and crushed
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1/4 tsp Pepper black, freshly ground
For Frying
- Oil canola, for deep frying (vegetable, or peanut)
Instructions
- Roast the flax seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant. Let cool slightly, then crush and set aside.
- Cut the potatoes into long, even strips about 1/2-inch thick. Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl filled with cold water and soak for at least 15-20 minutes (or up to overnight in the refrigerator). This removes excess starch, resulting in crispier fries.
- Drain the potatoes well and pat them completely dry with paper towels. Excess moisture will cause the oil to splatter.
- Heat the oil in a large, deep pot or Dutch oven to 325°F (160°C). Carefully add the potato strips to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 4-5 minutes, until slightly softened but not browned.
- Remove the fries from the oil with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a wire rack or baking sheet lined with paper towels to drain. Let them rest for 5-10 minutes.
- Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C). Carefully return the par-fried potatoes to the hot oil in batches. Fry for another 2-3 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the fries from the oil and place them on a fresh layer of paper towels to drain any excess oil. Immediately season with salt, crushed flaxseed, and black pepper.
- Serve the hot, crispy French fries immediately. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For extra crispiness, soak the cut potato strips in cold water for at least 30 minutes, then dry them thoroughly before frying—this removes excess starch and helps prevent sogginess.
- Sprinkle flax seeds onto the fries immediately after frying while they are still hot, so the seeds stick better and impart a subtle nutty flavor.
- To infuse an Indian twist, toss the hot fries with a pinch of chaat masala or a mix of red chili powder and cumin powder for an added kick and aromatic complexity.
- If you have leftovers, reheat the fries in an oven or air fryer at 200°C (400°F) for 5-7 minutes to restore their crunch—avoid microwaving, as it makes them limp.
Expert Tips
- Double frying your potatoes at different temperatures is a chef-approved method for achieving ultimate crispiness. Fry them first at a lower temperature to cook the inside, and then again at a higher temperature to create a golden-brown crust.
- Experiment with different seasonings beyond the usual salt and pepper. Try garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, or even a sprinkle of parmesan cheese for added flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying. Frying in batches ensures even cooking and optimal crispiness.
Storage Instructions
- Ideally, fries are best enjoyed immediately after frying. However, if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a few hours.
