I love trying out new fry recipes. Here's another potato fry recipe and I'll be posting and coming up with more!

Instructions

  1. Small 106718 2f2015 01 10 084038 20131217 174639

    You will need a medallion slicer with zigzag blade.

  2. Small 106718 2f2015 01 10 084047 20131217 175119

    Peal the potatoes and wash them. Now it's time to create the checked pattern, be very careful as the medallion slicer is sharp, Make the first slice, remember that the first slice of potato won't have a checked pattern on it.

  3. Small 106718 2f2015 01 10 084051 20131217 175132

    After the first slice rotate the potato to 90 degrees and then go for the second slice - now every slice will have a checked pattern on it,

  4. Small 106718 2f2015 01 10 084055 20131217 175325

    Before each slice you'll have to rotate the potato to 90 degrees to create the checked pattern.

  5. Small 106718 2f2015 01 10 084102 20131217 180258

    Also try to keep the slices as thin as possible otherwise you won't get a neat checked pattern, besides the thinner slices become crispier after frying.

  6. Small 106718 2f2015 01 10 084114 20131217 180343

    Add salt for seasoning.

  7. Small 106718 2f2015 01 10 084118 20131218 180814

    Take a frying pan and add enough oil to fry the potatoes. Heat oil over high heat (450°-650°F or 232°C-343°C). Once the oil is heated turn the heat down to medium heat (325°F-374° For 162°C-190°C) and add the potatoes to the pan. After 5 -6 minutes turn the potatoes around to make sure they're fried evenly on all sides, but don't stir frequently while frying, It will take 5-6 minutes more. But if you notice that the potatoes are turning brownish take them out of the oil with a slotted spoon. Enjoy! ​
