Step 3: Heat the Oil
Pour enough vegetable oil into a deep skillet or frying pan to cover the bottom generously (about ½ inch deep). Heat over medium-high heat until hot, but not smoking. To test, drop in a tiny bit of the mixture—if it sizzles immediately, you’re ready to go.
Step 4: Fry to Crispy Perfection
Scoop a spoonful of the mixture and gently flatten it into a patty shape. Carefully place it in the hot oil and fry for about 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan—work in batches for best results.
Once cooked, transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serving Ideas
Serve these crispy delights with:
Garlic aioli or spicy ketchup
A side of fresh salad or slaw
As a burger sidekick (even better than fries!)
They’re perfect for after-school snacks, weekend treats, or game night munchies. No dipping sauce required—but highly recommended!
Pro Tips
Want extra crunch? Try double-frying: cook once at medium heat, let them cool slightly, then fry again at higher heat for 1 minute.
You can add shredded cheese or herbs like parsley or chives to the mixture for extra flavor.
Make ahead and reheat in the oven or air fryer to crisp them back up.
Final Thoughts
Once you try these, you’ll forget all about fast food fries. They’re easy, crispy, and seriously addictive. Best of all? They’re homemade with love and ready in minutes.Best restaurants near me
