Cook the fries in two batches for maximum crispiness
After putting the oil in your fryer, make sure that the temperature reaches 160°C before plunging your fries into it and cooking them for the first time . This will cook the inside of your sticks without browning them. Once they rise to the surface, drain and let sit.
During the second cooking, increase the temperature of your oil bath to 180 or 190°C, then immerse your fries in it again for 2 to 3 minutes . When they are golden brown, remove them from the fryer and salt to your liking. They are ready to be eaten!
