FRENCH-FRIED POTATOES
There’s a reason why nearly a third of all potatoes grown
in the United States make their way into a fry basket:
fried potatoes are spectacular.No other food achieves quite the same balance of crisp
exterior and fluffy interior without the need for any sort of
external breading or batter. It all has to do with the natural
balances of starches and moisture in the spuds. But making
a perfect French fry is not as simple as dunking a potato in
hot oil for a few minutes.§ § § For the rest of this chapter,
we’re going to talk about how to achieve crisp, golden
nirvana every time.
