How Fries Are Made

Potatoes are an ingredient that we often eat in our daily diet. Compared with other ingredients, it is not only cheap, but also has high nutritional value. Cut the potatoes into strips, fry them in oil until golden and crispy, and eat them with tomato sauce. It's so delicious that you can't stop eating. Therefore, french fries are very popular all over the world. So do you know how fries are made? Next, I will bring you two ways to make fries.

The first method:

1. Peel and wash the potatoes.
2. Cut the potatoes into strips, the thickness is according to your own needs, it is not recommended to cut too small because it will shrink when fried.
3. Soak the french fries in clean water (preferably salt water, which can precipitate the starch in the potatoes) for ten minutes, then pour the water to wash.
4. Add an appropriate amount of water to the pot, pour in the cut potato strips, cover the pot and cook for 3 to 5 minutes. During the cooking process, you can use the spatula to turn it twice to make it evenly heated. Remove the potatoes from the pot, drain and let cool.
5. Put an appropriate amount of oil in the pot (the oil is enough to cover the fries, if there are too many fries, you can also fry them in batches), after the oil is hot, pour in the french fries and fry until golden brown.

The second method:

Use a professional french fries production line to make fries. Generally, fries production lines are divided into two types: one is a fully automatic fries production line and the other is a semi-automatic fries production line. The fully automatic fries production line is suitable for large-volume fries producers, which can save labor. Small-volume fries manufacturers opt for semi-automatic fries production lines.
