As you’ve seen we love our side dishes. The weather is starting to shift already here in NY so it’s time for a comfort side that will go perfect with my Caprese Burger or Pulled Pork Sandwiches. My Homemade French Fries definitely hit the mark. They are crispy and seasoned to perfection with just a bit of spice to them.
Homemade French Fries
These fries are perfect for colder weather because they are absolute comfort food. You want to start out by peeling and slicing your potatoes to wedge size fries. A tip that’ll save your wedges from turning brown while you’re slicing all of them, is to place them in a cold bowl of water once they’re cut.
You’ll want to use a large pot to fry the french fries in because you don’t want the fries to touch each other when they are cooking. So the larger the pot, the less time it’ll take to cook all of the fries. Make sure that you have enough oil to cover the fries though so if you’re using a large pot you might need to add more oil.
If your mixture for coating the fries does not easily drip from your spoon, you’ll want to add a bit more water. My husband describes the mixture as looking like cement when it is mixed. Lovely, I know, but you get the picture.
As the Fall weather sneaks up on us we’ll be looking for more comfort and tailgating food for Football season. Be sure to check out my Pulled Pork Baked Potato and Kelli’s Scalloped Potatoes.
