My secret for the perfect French Fries at Home! Crispy Homemade Fries with homemade sauce!

potatoes

🥗Healthier: sweet potatoes

💰Cheaper: frozen fries

Sweet potatoes offer more nutrients and fiber.

vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Avocado oil is healthier with a higher smoke point.

salt

🥗Healthier: sea salt

💰Cheaper: table salt

Sea salt adds minerals and a different flavor.

ketchup

🥗Healthier: salsa

💰Cheaper: homemade ketchup

Salsa is fresher and lower in sugar.

Peel 4 potatoes and cut them into thick fry shapes.

Soak the cut potatoes in water for about 10 minutes to remove excess starch.

Drain the potatoes and place them in another bowl.

Add hot water to the potatoes and let them sit for about 30 minutes to soften them.

Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.

Place the dried potatoes in a Ziploc bag or bowl and add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, coating the potatoes evenly.

Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat.

Test if the oil is ready by inserting a wooden stick; if bubbles form, the oil is ready.

Slowly drop the coated potato pieces into the hot oil and fry for about 5 minutes for the first fry.

Remove the fries from the oil and set them aside on a kitchen towel.

Place the fries in the freezer for about 30 minutes.

While the fries are freezing, prepare the sauce by mixing 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of hot and sweet sauce, 1 tablespoon of ketchup, and 1 tablespoon of yellow mustard until well combined.

After 30 minutes, fry the potatoes again for about 5 to 8 minutes or until crispy and golden brown.

Remove the fries from the oil and place them on a kitchen towel to drain excess oil.

Serve the fries with the prepared sauce.
