If you don’t have a deep fryer, you can also prepare fries in the pan. We give you some helpful tips.
Frying fries in a pan – you should pay attention to that
Whether homemade or bought fries – you can prepare both variants in the pan.
- Heat a pan on high. Depending on the thickness of the pan, this can take up to 10 minutes.
- Use oil or fat that is suitable for high temperatures. Palmin or bikini is ideal, as well as sunflower or rapeseed oil.
- Use enough oil. The bottom of the pan should at least be completely covered with oil. The more oil, the closer you get to the fryer effect.
- Fry the fries in small batches. You cannot prepare all the fries directly as you can in the fryer. Load enough into the pan that the fries don’t touch each other.
- Remove the fries and store them in the oven at 50 degrees while you fry the remaining fries.
Pan: Tips for homemade potato wedges
Making fries yourself is uncomplicated and delicious if you follow a few tips.
- After you cut the fries, pat them dry with a kitchen towel. There should be as little moisture as possible on the potatoes for frying.
- If you have a lot of prep time, place the sliced fries in a cold water bath. This removes the starch and makes the end product crispier.
- You can also freeze fries for quicker preparation another day. Fry your fries briefly in the pan until they get a little color, let them cool completely, and freeze them.
