Fried potatoes are some of the best tasting food around.  It doesn’t matter if it is french fries, potato logs, or even potato halves, they all taste so good when fried.  And we can’t forget the All-American classic of fried chicken.  Where would we be without fried chicken?  Heck, where would KFC be without fried chicken?

A new trend that is catching on in a lot of peoples backyards is the electric turkey deep fryers.  Deep frying the turkey for Thanksgiving is becoming a tradition with a lot of people.  If you haven’t tried eating your turkey cooked like that you really should.

Electric deep fryers are the most popular ones for people to buy and use at home.  They are relatively inexpensive and easy to use.  And lets face it, frying in a pan really does not do the trick.  The electric deep fryer is essential in all modern kitchens.

The Best Electric Deep Fryers will be the ones that are compact in size, easy to set up, even easier to clean up, and most importantly they will cook your food to perfection.

When cooking potatoes we are always looking for ways to enhance the flavor and culinary experience.  Maybe with a deep fryer we have found one piece to that puzzle.

Secret:  To make crispy french fries you need to cook them twice.  The first time will get rid of all of the water and cook the potato fries halfway.  The second time will finish cooking them and make them crispy.

How To Make Fried Potato Fries

Ingredients

  • 6-8 large potatoes
  • Oil for deep frying
  • Parmigiano Reggiano (Parmesan Cheese)
  • Chili Flakes
  • Fresh Parsley
  • Salt & White Pepper

Directions

  1. Scrub and peel the potatoes. Reserve them in a large bowl full of cold water.
  2. Slice the peeled potatoes into french fries and then put them back into the cold water.
  3. Drain the potato fries and dry them well on a paper towel.
  4. Heat the oil in a deep fryer to 320F and deep fry the fries until they are half done. They should be cooked through but pale and soggy looking. Remove from oil, drain and let cool for 20 minutes.
  5. While the fries are cooling dice the parsley, grate about 2 tablespoons of the Parmigiano Reggiano, and mix all together with 1 tablespoon of chili flakes.
  6. Now reheat the oil to 375F and add the fries back in until they are brown and crisp.
  7. Drain again and toss with salt & pepper and the Parmesan, chili, and parsley mix. Careful not to add to much salt…the cheese is already a bit salty.
