I Enjoy Cooking Homemade Fries In My Deep Fryer Do You Make Your Own Fries?

For many people frozen french fries are just more convenient. I have used the frozen variety and I have also made my own. It's true that homemade french fries are more time consuming. They take more preparation and cooking time. If I have the choice between the two, I will always pick homemade french fries. They are worth the wait!

I have done that, BUT the fryer got lost, AND now I'm on a diet and fries aren't on them

I make my own fries, but I seldom make them in my deep fryer. I make mine in the oven and my family likes them that way. Plus they're a whole lot healthier in the long run lol. When I make my baked fries, I oil my cookie sheet (with sides) and add a dab of low-fat butter for taste. I sprinkle a little onion powder, garlic powder, and shake on some steak seasoning. When I cut the fries I put them in a bowl of cold, salted water. Before putting the fries onto the greased sheet I pat them dry. Then I bake at 350 for about 15 minutes and then flip them over so the other side browns. Like I said, my family loves them this way. The only time we eat McD's fries, etc, is if we're traveling. I can't even remember when the last time I used my deep fryer lol.

I make my own homemade hashbrowns (using leftover already cooked potatoes) vie the skillet and leftover hamburger/bacon grease. Still not terribly "healthy" but yummy all the same.

healthy oils like olive oils are quite expensive and so i will not use it for frying in deep oil like french fries and also i am healthy conscious i don't eat oily foods. if for example olive oil is cheap i would definitely try eating fries home made too. cause fries are so delicious.

This brought back old memories. I haven't made my own fries in a long time. Actually, I never had, it was my father that use to cut up potatoes and make our own fries years ago. I remember they use to be so delicious! That gave me a great idea for a way to switch things up. Thanks!

Yes i make my own fries. I use both sweet potatoes or the regular potatoes with spicy flour and it taste really good.

I once made french fries and crisp chips everyweek. Washing potatoes and slicing them, then frying. You can make sure the potatoes are fresh, not freezing. And the oil is used once only. Don't worry oil used repeatedly. I seldom do this now, as the amount of work is large for me. I usually have french fries, with dipping them in ketchup. I know eating french fries in this way is traditional, but I really enjoy it! I think it's also a classic way, right? But I just one problem is how to keep them crisp. I had to fry them in batches as small pan and much potatoes. But when I finished last batch, the fries cooked before were usually softened. I've really no idea about it. Hi, could you plz share me some tips, mylotters?

I need some tricks as how to make the fries crispier.And yes you are right i tried Mccains they contain lot of oil in them.[/i]

Hi Cherryd, I like to eat fried foods like french fries,fried chicken,etc. But I hardly fried it myself when I am doing my cooking. I just don't like to cook fried foods,it makes the kitchen very oily and I need more time to clean up the kitchen. I prefer to cook something easy and simple and good for my health. Eating too much fried food is not good for health.Tend to have high cholestrol and easy to put on weigh and also heaty.

French fries of the DIY Want to eat French fries had. Too lazy to go out, so a few potatoes from the kitchen and pulls out their own DIY. French fries is quite a simple method is: Wash peel a potato, cut into Article 5 mm square can be. Not too small, or poor taste. 2 will be a smaller pot Banguo oil, the oil heated up to eight hours into a hot, add cut potatoes, potatoes do not put too much, because too many fries will stick together. Gently stir-fry of the spade with the flip, so that potatoes be heated evenly, then the fire can be as small a number to maintain oil temperature can be. 3 Approximately 4-5 minutes or so, potatoes in the oil with the resumption of the water after floating up, the pan inside the bubble has also decreased, became a golden yellow color, you can clean wok had. After the plate into four clean wok, sprinkle a small amount of salt, fragrant french fries to do the work.

I like to make my own fries too I do a mixture of Sweet potatoes and regular bake potoes. I cut them up and instead of frying them I like to bake them. I add some seasonings to them and they just come out so wonderful and super healthy. I love french fries when they are fresh. I rarely ever deep fry them I dont liek all the oil that comes along with it.

Yes its better to do your own fries. Its more natural and doesn't have any preservatives. Go healthy and natural to stay young and avoid any sickness caused by those artificial additives. With regards to the oil being used, you're right we don't know how many times they used it before they change the oil. And I believing having the oil re-used and reheated caused cancer in the long run.

dear cherryd41,, i could for your article that you are an "eating fan" actually i also do belong to the same....As you i am found of cooking ..for every one it is very happier to eat some thing cooked by their self even though it is less taster than that brought from restaurants..... I also comment that eating self cooked things bring mental satisfaction which is also good for our health

i do not, but my wife loves doing that for our child loves to eat french fries. instead of running at the fast food frequently she buys a lot of potatoes and cook french fries when our son wanted some. i guess that is more healthy for some fast food repeats in using over used oils while at home my wife use canola oil. so there are big difference. but of course we still eat french fries on fast food when we are out.
