Can you shallow fry chips

Everyone loves chips! Whether you are having them together with a steak or served up in a butty they are a staple side dish for many a meal. How to fry chips at home. Probably one of the most popular side-dishes in the world, chips or fries for our overseas friends are perfect for serving up alongside a main, or even having by themselves with a hearty dollop of your favourite condiment. Knowing how to fry chips properly can make or break your next batch so here are some tips to make sure you get that perfect crispy and fluffy finish!

Choose your spud! Which oil should you use? This made great fries. Thank you. I made them for fish and chips. Still had to double fry because I cooked them too early but they would have been perfect. This is weird. I always found if oil was too low a temperature that the fries became more oil-soaked as in did not form an immediate protective crust from quick frying Medium low didn't seem to work for me.

I have an electric stove and cooked on medium for about 15 minutes and then medium high for about 5 minutes to get the outside crispy. They were the best fries I have ever cooked. Crispy but not hard and the insides were soft and fluffy. I tried this method tonight and I can't believe how great my fries came out. Even cold they were good. I will be making french fries more often. I will freely admit I'm not the best cook - probably because I hate cooking lol.

I was desperate for something different for a side dish tonight and found this recipe - it was so easy even I didn't mess it up lol. I was a bit worried they would become soggy sitting in the oil that long but they were nice and crispy. Normally I rarely fry anything, mainly because my hips - among other body parts - don't need it and to be honest I hate the smell of oil that lingers in the house.

This might be a bit too easy and good to make too often! These made the best stove top fries!!! And your method has a lot less oil splatter too. That looks awesome but how how do I make more than one portion if they need to be cooked in cold oil? Hi Lexi! Great question - I have not tried this with sweet potatoes.

I am not sure if they would work the same way since they tend to get very mushy when cooked. Yes, this really works! This worked really well and my toddler, who doesn't like skillet fries or baked fries, loved them!

This is a game-changer! I tried this technique today. Easiest fries ever and perfectly cooked. Thank You! I tried it with my cast iron pan and peanut oil on an electric stove.

They turned out ok, not oily like I expected. After 20 minutes, the fries were not brown so I started turning up my stove in 10 minute increments until at the end I was on medium. After about minutes total, they were finally brown. Show only OP.

Tried googling but all i can up with was deep frying them. This is what i am doing at the moment: Cutting the chips thinly mc donalds style. Heating the oil in a non stick drying pan at max temperature until the oil is hot.

Putting the chips in the pan and fry until they appear cooked. Basicly you want the water in the chips vaporise, so then chips become crispy. I've never managed satisfactory shallow frying of chips to be honest. My suggestion would be roasted wedges. They seem to suffer less for their lack of deep frying.
