We are pleased to provide the ideal recipe for french fries, which was inspired by Kenji López-Alt’s innovative approach in The Meals Lab! The crispy pleasures that Chef JB has developed over the years remain crunchy even when they are chilled, making them comparable to those that are served in high-quality bistros. Do-it-yourself fries that are soggy are a source of further disappointment; our method guarantees that the fries will have a fluffy inside and a crispy surface that will last throughout your lunch. You may create them in the following manner:
Contents: one kilogram or two pounds of floury potatoes
2 teaspoons of white vinegar
kosher salt or one tablespoon of culinary salt
1 liter or one quart of vegetable or canola oil
Salt (desk salt or sea salt flakes) is the seasoning that you should choose.
Shaker fries seasoning includes rosemary salt and nori salt, which will be available soon.

Questions That Are Consistently Asked (FAQs):
For this dish, is it possible to use a variety of different types of potatoes?
There is no doubt that you should make use of a wide range of floury potato types, such as Sebago/filth, Russet/Idaho, Maris Piper, or King Edward, depending on the availability of these potatoes in your region.
2. How important is the vinegar in the process of boiling all of the ingredients?
Vinegar helps to maintain the structure of the potatoes, preventing them from coming apart while they are boiling and ensuring that the potatoes have a fluffy interior. Moreover, it contributes to the achievement of a crispier texture following the frying process.

3. Is it possible to reuse the oil that was used for frying?
Absolutely, you are allowed to reuse the frying oil; but, before doing so, you must be sure to strain it through a sieve with a fine screen in order to remove any particles that may be present. To ensure the best possible flavor and quality, it should be stored in a cold, dark area and used within a few weeks after being purchased.
Is it really necessary to cook the french fries twice?
When it comes to achieving the desired level of crispiness, it is vital to fry the fries twice. The main fry is responsible for partly cooking the potatoes and removing any excess moisture, while the second fry, which is performed at the subsequent temperature, guarantees that the outside is golden brown and crispy.
Would it be possible for me to put together the fries ahead of time and then reheat them later?
In spite of the fact that it is better to consume the fries as soon as possible, you may prepare them ahead of time and then reheat them in the oven at a high temperature (about 200 degrees Celsius or 400 degrees Fahrenheit) for a couple of minutes in order to restore some of its crispiness.
When it comes to storing leftover fries, what is the most convenient method?
Fry leftovers may be stored in the refrigerator for up to two days if they are placed in a container that is hermetically sealed. In order to reheat them, spread them out on a baking sheet and bake them in an oven that has been prepared until they are cooked through and crispy.
Is it possible for me to make adjustments to the seasoning to suit my preferences?
Unquestionably! You should not be afraid to try out entirely new seasonings or to make your own unique mixture in order to accommodate your tastes in terms of style. It is up to you to personalize the choices, regardless of whether you are looking for fundamental salt, herbs, or spices.
