For extra crispy fries, double fry them! Fry them once at a slightly lower temperature (325°F/160°C) for about 5 minutes, then remove and let cool slightly. Then, fry them again at 350°F (175°C) until golden brown and crispy. Experiment with different seasonings in the batter. Try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat, or some dried herbs like rosemary or thyme for an earthy flavor. Ensure the oil temperature remains consistent throughout the frying process for best results. Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature and adjust the heat as needed. Do not overcrowd the pan. Overcrowding will cause the oil temperature to drop, and the fries will steam instead of fry. To reheat the fries, spread them out on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-10 minutes, or until heated through and crispy.

Nov 5, 2023I had trouble with the batter being too thick at first, but I just added a little more water until it was the right consistency. Delicious!
