French fries special

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 1,000 g potatoes, waxy
• 3 g caraway seeds
• 200 g mayonnaise
• 200 g tomato ketchup
• 1 large onion(s)

Instructions

Working time approx. 45 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour

Turn the potatoes into jacket potatoes with the caraway seeds (the caraway seeds give the potatoes a wonderful flavor). After cooking, drain the potatoes and rinse off any remaining caraway seeds. Peel the potatoes (of course, they won’t be jacket potatoes otherwise) and let them cool (it goes faster if they’re left in cold water). Cut the potatoes into finger-thick strips. Heat the deep fryer to 180°C and add the potato strips one at a time(!) to the hot oil. Don’t add too many, otherwise they’ll stick together. After about 2-3 minutes, a thin crust will have formed on the potato strips. Now remove the strips and place them in a bowl. Then add the next strips to the hot oil. Continue doing this until all the strips are pre-fried. When the strips are done, peel the onion, cut it into small cubes, and place them in a bowl. Finish frying the prepared fries (the fryer basket can now be filled completely, as the fries will no longer stick together). Nevertheless, gently move the basket every now and then to keep the fries moving. When the fries have a golden-yellow outer skin, remove them and place them on a plate or in a bowl. Top with ketchup and mayonnaise, and finally scatter the onions over the top.
