Answer Hi Barkha,
French Fries!!!My favourite too.Anyways to start with your question I will first tell you how can you cut the potatoes.See there are varieties of cutter available in the market for cutting the potatoes according to your need.I am providing you a Link where you can get the desired type of cutter which will enable you to cut the potatoes for french fries.Here goes the link- http://www.chefdepot.net/frenchfrycutter.htm.
and to go with your second question I am providing you the entire recipe for French fries-
For 3-4 servings
2 lbs unpeeled russet potatoes, cut lengthwise into 1/3 inch thick sticks
vegetable oil, for frying, about 8 cups
fine sea salt
Greek oregano
method-
In a large bowl, cover the potatoes with water.
In a deep fryer fitted with a basket or a heavy medium saucepan, heat 3 inches of vegetable oil to 340°F.
Drain the potatoes and pat dry with paper towels.
Add half the potatoes to the oil and cook until they begin to blister and turn golden, about 15 minutes.
Shake up the basket every once in a while (not too often – especially in the beginning when the fries are still soft), or run a fork through the saucepan to make sure fries are not sticking together.
Spread the fries on paper towels to drain and cool.
Repeat with remaining fries.
(Fries can be made to this point up to 4 hours in advance of serving).
Heat the oil to 375°F.
Add a quarter of the fries and cook until browned and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes.
Drain on paper towels and repeat with remaining fries.
Sprinkle with sea salt and some oregano.
Enjoy this Delicious dish.Hope I have satisfied you.
Thanks
Sohini
