8. Season Immediately
Once the fries are done, season them with salt immediately while they’re still hot, so the seasoning sticks. You can also add other spices or seasonings at this point, such as garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, or a pinch of cayenne pepper for a bit of heat.
Tips for Extra Crispy Fries
- Don’t skip the soaking step: This is one of the most crucial steps for crispy fries! Soaking removes excess starch, which can make the fries stick together and turn soggy.
- Use a thermometer: To make sure your oil is at the right temperature, use a cooking thermometer to maintain a consistent 350°F heat. Too hot and the fries will burn, too cool and they will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
- Fry in batches: Overcrowding the pan can lower the oil temperature, resulting in fries that are soggy and unevenly cooked. Always fry small batches to ensure a crispy result.
- Season to taste: While salt is essential, feel free to get creative with your seasoning. Add a pinch of parmesan cheese, herbs like rosemary or thyme, or even a squeeze of lemon juice for a fresh twist.
Serving Your Crispy Fries
Now that your fries are perfectly crispy, it’s time to enjoy them! Serve them hot with your favorite dipping sauces such as ketchup, mayonnaise, sriracha, or even a tangy aioli. They also make a perfect side dish to pair with burgers, fried chicken, or steak.
