Why Making Fries at Home is Super Cool!

How To Make Fries : Stuff You Need to Get Started!
You don’t need a ton of fancy things for how to make fries. Here’s what to grab:
- Potatoes: A few Russet potatoes are perfect!
- Oil: Just a little bit, like vegetable or canola oil.
- Salt: Gotta have salt!
- Water: Simple tap water works.
- A Big Bowl: For potato pieces.
- Cutting Board & Knife: Grown-up help needed here!
- Paper Towels: For drying.
- Baking Sheet or Air Fryer: To cook them on/in.
- Oven or Air Fryer: Grown-up help needed – they get hot!

That’s your starter kit! Now, let’s get those potatoes ready!
Getting the Potatoes Ready!
First, wash your potatoes really well! Rub off any dirt.
Next, you can peel them or leave the skin on – it’s your choice! Ask your grown-up for help with a peeler if you want to take the skin off.
Now, the cutting! This is where your grown-up will use a knife to cut the potato into fry shapes. You can make thin fries or thicker ones! Thinner ones get crispy faster, thicker ones are softer inside. It’s cool how changing the cut changes the fry!

The Crispy Secrets! (Soaking & Drying)
Want super crispy fries ? Here are two secrets!
Secret 1: The Soak! Put your cut potato sticks in a big bowl and cover them with cool water. Let them sit for at least 30 minutes. This helps wash away extra starch on the outside that can make fries soggy. Think of it like giving them a quick rinse before they cook!

Secret 2: The Dry! After soaking, take the potato pieces out and spread them on paper towels. Pat them really dry with more paper towels. Get off as much water as possible! Wet potatoes won’t get crispy when they cook. Getting them dry is super important for learning how to make fries right!

Time to Cook! (Heat is Your Friend!)
Okay, dry potatoes? Check! Now it’s time to make them crispy using heat! Remember, ovens and air fryers get hot, so a grown-up needs to help you with this part!
Cooking:
- Simple toss your dry potato sticks in a bowl with a little bit of oil. Just sufficient to coat them.
- If using the oven, spreading them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Don’t crowd them! Ask your grown-up to put the tray in a hot oven (perhaps around 400°F or 200°C). Bake for 20-30 mins, flipping halfway.
- If using the air fryer, place a single layer in the basket. You might want to cook in batches. Ask your grown-up to place the basket in a hot air fryer (perhaps 375-400°F). Cook for 15-20 mins, shaking halfway.
Cook until they are golden brown and look crisp! Keep an eye on them!

Make Them Taste Awesome!
Your fries are cooked and hot! Now for the best part – seasoning!
As soon as they come out, while they’re still warm, sprinkle them with salt! The heat helps the salt stick. Add as much salt as you like!
Want more flavor? You can add a tiny bit of pepper, garlic powder, or onion powder too! Put the hot fries in a bowl, add your seasonings, and gently toss them! Yum!
