Preparation of french fries

french fries made from peeled potatoes should be chilled after cutting in cold water for 10 minutes to 30 minutes before frying, to ensure maximum crispiness and so they don't stick together while frying. To prevent darkening, add citrus acid or vinegar to the water solution. Spin dry before frying, to avoid water spattering and to reduce fat absorption Always use clean oil to fry potatoes. Make sure oil is the proper temperature before frying potatoes. Frying potatoes in cold oil will result in more oil absorption by the fries. The oil is the proper temperature when the fries don't sink when dropped in and bubbles remain on top

Fry Tips

• Overfilling the fry basket can result in limp fries, excess color variation and stuck together fries.
• Store raw potatoes at 55°F. Too cold a temperature will result in sugar streaking or fries that look golden but are not thoroughly cooked.
• To ensure proper fry color, make sure oil temperature is correct and not too hot, fries are left in oil for correct amount of time, and oil is not too old or dirty. 

Never hold fries for more than 10 minutes. Hold at 300°F in a warming cabinet or at 100° - 120°F under a heat lamp or in a warm oven. Under-frying, salting too soon and leaving a basket over the fryer too long will result in poor texture and limp fries.To prevent excessive oil usage, drain baskets by shaking lightly, or increase frying. When frying the Norkotah variety, allow for more cook time by reducing the temperatures for blanching or finish frying.
