There seems to be a difference of opinion between the two sides of the Atlantic as to what fries and chips are called. In the US, fries are called French fries or fries, and chips are called chips. However, chips are fries in the UK and crisps are chips.

Aside from the name, there are some subtle differences between chips and fries, with chips being relatively thick and even skinned, with a crunchy outer texture, while fries are slimmer, with a more crispy and charred feel.

French fries became a popular food in Britain and America during the Industrial Revolution, mainly because of the time and effort saved, so french fries became the food trend of the time.

Fries are also delicate, these steps are done to ensure that the fries can be comparable to those sold.

Choose The Right Potatoes

The right choice of ingredients is the first and crucial step in the success of food production, if you choose a rotten potato, it is impossible to fry aromatic and tasty fries.

So what is the best choice of potatoes? Look at the appearance, rough and pockmarked potatoes, rich in starch, fries are better, smooth-skinned potatoes are too crispy for frying.

Cut The Fries And Frozen

Peel the selected potatoes and cut them into strips, taking care that the strips are evenly sliced, so that they not only look good but are easy to fry. After cutting the strips, remember to wash them twice and then coat them with a layer of starch, which, as a rule of thumb, tastes much better than frying without flour. After that, put the potato strips in the fridge for six hours or more.

Fry Them In A Pan

Take the frozen fries out and prepare them for deep-frying by washing the pan and pouring in the oil. When the oil is hot, put the potatoes in and fry them until they are golden brown, then take them out. When the oil is hotter than before, put the potatoes in and fry them again.
