While French fries might seem like an easy food to make from scratch (and they are), I'm here to give you tips and my experience experimenting with different methods to achieve a top-tier chip
Some things are just better when they’re made from scratch—and making something with your own two hands provides such satisfaction. When you cook from scratch, you know exactly what ingredients go into your meals, and it offers you the flexibility to adjust your recipe for dietary or taste preferences.
While French fries might seem like an easy food to make from scratch (and they are), I’m here to give you tips and my experience experimenting with different methods to achieve a top-tier chip. From there, you can cook the fries based on what you have at your disposal, maybe including that air fryer you got for Christmas?Christine McAvoy
I’m going to break this down into three parts: preparation, cooking and seasoning.
Preparation: This applies to all cooking methods.
Cooking: There are several options here. If you don’t have an air fryer or don’t want to deal with the mess of frying the potatoes in oil, you can bake them.
BAKED
DEEP-FRIED
AIR-FRIED
Seasoning: This is where you make them your own. Maybe you’d like just salt on the fries to go with some cold ketchup, or maybe you’d like to get wild and add truffle oil and Parmesan? There’s also the option to make your own homemade poutine… but that’s a recipe for another day.
