Selecting the best potatoes

The secret to perfectly-cooked French fries starts with using the right potatoes. You want high-starch potatoes. Idaho or Russet potatoes are the best choice for classic French Fries or you can use Sweet Potatoes for additional sweetness. These potatoes are dense and have less moisture, which is key to avoiding soggy fries.

You should avoid waxy potatoes like red-skinned, new, or fingerling potatoes. The resulting fries will be limp and soggy and can darken too quickly. They’re high in moisture, and will actually become hollow when fried as the water evaporates out.

A Crucial Step is Soaking French Fries

Using ice water will stiffen the potato’s cell walls which help you achieve crispier fries. Just make sure after you’ve rinsed your fries, you completely dry them before cooking. Drying them is critical to making sure you achieve the perfect crispy taste. After soaking, dry the fries between paper towels. Damp potatoes in the heat from the oven can cause steam, which results in soft fries.
