Ingredients:
- 500g potatoes, peeled
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 20g fresh coriander, finely chopped
- 100g mozzarella cheese, grated
- 2 tbsp cornflour
- 2 tbsp potato starch
- Cooking oil for frying
Instructions:
- Prepare the Potatoes:
- Cut the potatoes into thin strips to ensure they cook evenly and get that desired crispiness. Soak them in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps in achieving a crispier texture.
- Seasoning Mix:
- In a large bowl, mix the salt, black pepper, and finely chopped coriander. This mix will be used to season our fries, giving them a unique and aromatic flavor.
- Coat the Fries:
- Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Toss them in the seasoning mix until they are evenly coated.
- Sprinkle the grated mozzarella cheese over the potatoes, ensuring each piece gets some cheesy goodness.
- Dust the cornflour and potato starch over the seasoned and cheesed potatoes, tossing them gently to coat evenly. This mixture will help in forming a crispy outer layer when fried.
- Frying:
- Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a deep fryer or a deep pan until it reaches a medium-high temperature (about 180°C or 350°F).
- Carefully add the coated potatoes in batches to avoid overcrowding, which can lower the oil’s temperature and result in less crispy fries.
- Fry for about 7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. The exact time may vary depending on the thickness of your fries and the type of potatoes used.
- Serving:
- Once fried, remove the fries from the oil and let them drain on a paper towel to remove any excess oil.
- Serve hot and crispy, perhaps with a side of your favorite dipping sauce or simply enjoy them as they are, with their cheesy, crispy goodness shining through.
Conclusion:
These ultimate crispy cheesy fries offer a delightful twist on a classic snack. The combination of mozzarella cheese with the light seasoning and the crunch of perfectly fried potatoes is sure to satisfy your cravings. Whether you’re making them for a party, as a snack for movie night, or just to indulge in some comfort food, these fries are bound to be a crowd-pleaser. Enjoy your cooking adventure!
