Preparing fries in the pan: the best tips and tricks

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 the pan - you should note that

Whether homemade or bought fries - you can prepare both variants in the pan.

Let a pan get hot at the highest setting. Depending on the pan thickness, this takes up to 10 minutes.
Use an oil or fat that is suitable for high temperatures. Palmin or Biskin, as well as sunflower or rapeseed oil are ideal.
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 effect of the deep fryer.
Fry the fries in small batches. You cannot prepare all fries directly like in the deep fryer. Load so much into the pan that the fries don't touch each other.
Take out the fries and store them in the oven at 50 degrees, while frying the remaining fries.

Making french fries yourself is easy and tasty if you follow a few tips.

After you cut the fries, dab them with a kitchen towel. There should be as little moisture as possible on the potatoes for roasting.
If you have a lot of preparation time, put the sliced fries in a cold water bath. This removes the starch and the end product becomes crispier.
For faster preparation on another day, you can also freeze fries. Fry your fries briefly in the pan until they get minimal color, let them cool completely and freeze them.
