EPISODE 24 FRENCH FOOD FRENCH FRIES To make authentically delicious french fries, first peel and cut potatoes into desired thickness (1 cm. Square is ideal for cooking), or else leave them peeled but clean them well and cut them up. Bring a good quantity of oil (enough to cover the fries when they’re cooking) to a temperature of about 160 degrees. Drop a handful of fries into the oil (cook only a handful at a time) and cook them from 5 to 8 minutes until they are cooked but not crisp. Put the fries on absorbent kitchen paper and let them cool down for about half an hour. Bring the oil to a temperature of about 190 degrees and put the fries back into the oil for a final two minutes. This allows the fries to get crispy on the outside and cooked perfectly on the inside. Serve some mayonnaise.
