Instructions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them by hand into uniform fries. They don't need to be thin; an ideal Belgian fry is 13 millimeters wide.

Step 2

Tip: Do not wash the fries, as washing them would remove the starch.

Step 3

Heat the frying fat to 140 °C (284 °F).

Step 4

After this step, you can also freeze the fries for later use.

Step 5

Fry the potatoes for the first time for 3-5 minutes, but do not let them color. This step is to poach the potato pieces. Drain the fries and let them cool well in a bowl with a sheet of kitchen paper.

Step 6

Heat the frying fat to 180 °C (356 °F).

Step 7

Fry the cold fries until they are golden brown and crispy (3-5 minutes).

Step 8

Pour the fries again into a bowl with kitchen paper to drain any excess oil. Sprinkle with salt to taste.
