Raghavan Iyer’s Ultimate French Fries
What makes these French fries Ultimate? The proper technique of cutting the potatoes into the right width, the double frying method (the second frying after being dusted with a secret ingredient), and the perfect temperatures during both the frying stages deliver the crispy-on-the outside and tender-on-the-inside fry.
