French fries Recipe

There is nothing compared to a plate full of crispy french fries when you are watching a movie, or chatting with friends, browsing food blogs or even having a party..French fries are popular with kids of all ages. We love french fries a lot, I do make it at home often but I found that french fries tend to get soggy once you take them off the heat.

So I was searching for a good recipe for so long time and finally found this one, I modified it slightly according to my taste. The original recipe doesn't need to boil, but I did that step so that the potatoes get cooked inside and get crispy outside when fried. I added some salt and chilli powder to make it get more flavourful.

Hi Aarthi,

This is my first comment on any blog for that matter. And I am all praises for your work, so procedural and your time saving tips are awesome. Kudos to you !!

I am just making the French fries recipe as mentioned by you, while my baby is asleep. Was wondering whether the frying can be done in advance of 2-3 hours of eating ?
Also what is the best way to retain the crispness of the fries?

Also any other way I can save some and use next day or so ?

Would appreciate your inputs please.

Thanks and keep up your work a lot of us new mommies and many others keep remembering you in all our meal times 🙂
