We had a lot of potatoes in the kitchen, and I was tired of making potato soup. I remembered that my little one loves KFC fries, so I decided to make KFC-style fries at home. 😊
Let's make a delicious and healthy snack for the family. Let's cook...

Steps

1

Peel the potatoes, cut them into long strips, and rinse until the water runs clear. This usually takes about 3 to 4 washes.
2

Boil water and add salt, sugar, and the crushed garlic. Wait until it boils.
3

Once the water is boiling, add the washed potatoes. Cook for about 5 minutes. Cook the potatoes until they are half-cooked, not too soft. Then remove and drain.
4

Prepare a medium-sized white plastic bag or a container if you don't have one. Mix the cornstarch and all-purpose flour in the bag/container, add a pinch or two of salt. Shake to mix all the ingredients evenly.
5

Add the boiled potatoes to the plastic bag/container with the flour mixture. Shake until all the potatoes are well-coated with flour. NOTE: (BEFORE MIXING THE POTATOES WITH THE FLOUR, MAKE SURE THE POTATOES HAVE COOLED DOWN AND ARE WELL-DRAINED.)
6

Store in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to 1 hour. I suggest not placing them in the freezer, just in the middle or lower section where you usually store snacks or fruits.
7

After that, take them out of the fridge and fry. Cook until golden brown. Remove and drain. NOTE: 1. Use medium heat when frying. 2. Once the potatoes are somewhat cooked, keep turning them until they are evenly cooked.
8

The fries are ready to be enjoyed.
