Handy Tips
- For extra crispy fries, consider double frying them: fry once at a lower temperature, let them cool, and then fry again at a higher temperature.
- Experiment with different seasonings, such as chili powder or parmesan cheese, for a unique twist.
Ingredient Swaps
- Oil: You can use olive oil or canola oil instead of vegetable oil for frying.
- Potatoes: Sweet potatoes can be used for a healthier alternative with a different flavor profile.
