Nice job breh
My process isn't too different than yours. If I could suggest one thing, try double frying them. Split your total cooking time, and even if just a minute between the two, it really helps with the crispness of the final product. I also found i get better results at lower temps around 325f with nice golden brown color

Happy cooking!
:salute:

i dont wanna trash nobodys cooking skills but you really gotta parcook fries. the goal is for the first partial cook to cook the inside of the potato so its nice and fluffy inside. you take the fries out of the oil and let them cool down and freeze them overnight. then you can fry them again to get the nice maillard reaction on the outside, so you get that 'snap'

nothing makes me :snoop: more than when people throw some raw ass wet potatoes into oil and fry them until theyre lifeless. those are the WOAT french fries. places like five guys do that. youre eating burnt undercooked potatoes lol

you can also parcook the fries via blanching. drop the sliced potatoes into salty boiling water for a few minutes, then drop immediately into an ice water bath to blanch and stop the cooking. freeze the slices, then deep fry them later

please stop throwing raw potatoes into deep fryers people

good god
