Fries—when done right—are pure culinary magic. 🍟 At Lucid Cafe Bali, we believe that every crisp, golden bite should be as satisfying as the first. But how do you keep them crispy for longer while achieving that irresistible golden-brown perfection? Here’s the chef’s secret:
🔥 1. Double Frying is a Must!
The key to crispy, golden fries is cooking them twice:
✔️ First fry: Cook at low heat (150°C/300°F) for about 3-4 minutes to soften the potatoes.
✔️ Second fry: Crank up the heat to 190°C/375°F and fry until golden brown and crispy!
This method removes excess moisture while creating a perfectly crisp shell.
🧊 2. Ice Bath Before Frying
In case you’re using fresh cut potatoes, soaking them in cold water for at least 30 minutes (or overnight) helps remove excess starch, preventing sogginess. Pat them completely dry before frying to avoid oil splatters.
🛢️ 3. Keep The Oil Fresh
Avoid reusing oil too many times—old oil breaks down, making fries greasy instead of crispy. For additional tip, opt for neutral, high-smoke point oils like canola, or sunflower oil.
🧂 4. Season Immediately
Salt and season your fries while they’re hot so they absorb all that flavor and staying stick without drawing out moisture.
💡 5. Pro Tip
To keep your fries crispy for longer, serve them on a cooling rack instead of a plate—this prevents steam from making them soggy!
