Mean Chef's French Fries

The best way to fry fries in my opinion is right here! They are browned on the outside and tender and delicious on the inside. Has you coming back for more! Dipped in ketchup, they can't be beat!

I was trying to figure out how to use the remaining potatoes in my house when I stumbled upon this recipe....to make a long story short, the fries were DELISH (especially with a lot of ketchup ;P). The recipe was actually easier than it looks (not that it looks too hard in the first place). arigato!

These were great. Normally my homemade fries are nice and golden on the outside and raw in the center or limp. These were crispy on the outside and nice and tender on the inside. Thanks for helping me finally make a delicious homemade french fry!

We loved everything about these fries, and even DD had a couple! I made them extra long, using lg. potatoes, so she could grab one and make a fist and knaw on it until it was gone. She had a ball dipping it in the ketchup and taking bites. DS and DH ate like troopers so it's another 5 star winner for us! Thank you!

I have used this method for years and was glad to see this posted here for others to try. I love my fries nice and golden brown, so I left mine in for a few more minutes. I sprinkled with salt and dipped in malt vinegar and ketchup and had along with a delicious burger! What a great combo!

I chose this recipe because it has a technique that seemed foolproof and I was right. It made golden fries that were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and cooked just right. I sprinkled with a little Tony Chachere's seasoning right after frying and we enjoyed them along with our burgers. I will use this recipe from now on, as the results are excellent! Thanks for sharing!

Great easy recipe. I like to sprinkle the fries with Weber's Sweet'N Tangy BBQ Seasoning and garlic powder. Thanks for sharing.

I've used this recipe 3 times now and I have to say it's the best way to make homemade french fries! Thanks so much!

I love fries and wanted some to go with my sandwich, Linda's Tuna and Olive Sandwich (Sandwiches) or Finger Rolls. They went great together! The fries were nice and crispy. With just a sprinkling of salt and some malt vinegar and ketchup I was smiling all the way through my meal!

This makes crispy delicious fries that are not grease soaked and loaded with fat. We enjoyed them so much with scallops and coleslaw. These are awesome fries! Thanks for posting Bekah!

Spot on - if you don't have time to dry out your potatoes you must double-cook them to get the dry crispy texture.

Ore-Ida watch out!! Another 5++ stars from here! I'm certain I'm showing my age but I remember my mom making fries like these before they were available in the freezer case. I remember her frying the taters twice and I'm sure she used lard because it was the only grease I saw in our house back then. I followed the recipe exactly using peanut oil and my fry baby with hand-cut russets and the temperatures called for. They were perfect with my grilled steak and worth the extra time and effort!!

I wanted a real basic fry recipe to have along with Oven-Baked Buttermilk Chicken. This fit the bill, and we all were VERY HAPPY munching out on these! I think the double frying is the key to nice crispy fries, and that's how I like em!

Perfectly cooked french fries using this method every time. I had never used peanut oil to make fries, but I will do so from now on. I added a little Tony Chachere's seasoning for a little kick just as they came out of the fryer. Merci Bo Coux or is that Roux? LOL

Oh my heavens! Best homemade fries I have ever made or tasted. I made these tonight and had no choice but to cook mine in actual lard because I didn't have enough oil or Crisco around and I wasn't going to the store just for that, so I am sure that these were most unhealthy for us. But it is not a usual thing for us to have fried foods, so it wont be a problem (I hope anyway). Next time we decide to have fries, I will be sure to have something a bit more healthy to cook them in. Anyway, great method for cooking fries. I was sort of wishing that I had two separate pots for cooking though, because with 3 full size boys plus two toddlers and myself, I needed a bunch of them and waiting for the oil to get hot seemed to take a long time, especially to my boys who acted like they hadn't eaten all day long. Thanks for a great recipe!

I had an urge to make greasy french fries for my family last night to go along with plain old hamburgers. THESE WERE WONDERFUL!!! I don't have a fry cutter so cut them as uniformly as possible lengthwise with a knife. I also don't have a deep fryer OR a temp taker so I just filled my deep skillet half full with the vegetable oil on med-high for the first 3 minutes of frying... and removed them with metal tongs. Then turned the temp up almost to high for the last 4 minutes. They came out crispy and perfect. My family devoured them... and they said they felt like they were at a burger joint. My 9 year old thinks I am the best french fry maker ever now!!! Thanks a bunch!!!

These are really, really tasty fires!! This is pretty much the same way they do fries at IN&Out Burger and they are too easy to make!!

These are the best! Had to cut the taters by hand. Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly. This will be a rare snack because of the oil, but man, are they tasty. I think the only thing I will change is to cut my fries a little thicker. I'll try a couple different seasoning blends for extra flavor and variety.
