Indian veg snacks doesn't end without potato. Different varieties of aloo/potato snack are available. French fries is a universal snack served with burger/ sandwich. Children are more fond of potatoes that too when it is served crisp with tomato ketchup.
French fries are prepared in different form and I used the simple method to make it. My hubby is more fond of potatoes. It all that he needs boiled potatoes with cheese. He can eat daily without boring. I used to make potato wedges both Indian and thai curry style, french fries, aloo tikki, baked aloo, cheesy aloo and it goes. Non-starchy potatoes are best for making different fries and chips, since it doesn't turn brown soon once we immerse potato into hot oil. Non- starchy potato could be identified by peeling the skin of potato using hand. The skin is very dry and peel off very easily.
Preparation time: 4 hrs
Cooking time: 10 mins
Serves: 3 nos
Ingredients:
Non starchy potato - 2 (large)
Salt - to taste
Water - to boil
Oil - to deep fry
Ziplock cover - 1 medium size
Paper towel - 3 to 4nos
Method:
1. Boil water in a deep non-stick pan and add 11/2 teaspoon of salt to it.
2. Wash and peel 2 medium non-starchy potatoes. Cut them into slices and further into batons as shown below.
3. Now add the potato batons to boiling water. Cover and cook until potatoes are three-fourth done.
4. Strain the baton and pat dry on kitchen towel. Transfer it to zip-lock bag and freeze it around 3-4 hrs.
5. Heat sufficient oil in a pan and deep fry the frozen baton until it turns slight golden brown.
6. Drain on absorbent paper and sprinkle salt to it.
Serve it hot with tomato ketchup.
Tips:
1. Oil should be really hot for frying frozen baton. Once frozen baton are added to hot oil, it reduces the heat of oil. If oil is less in heat, these baton turns soggy and you feel more in french fries.
2. Batons can be prepared as a whole and stored in many small ziplock bag in freezer. It can be used when ever it is required. Once ziplock is taken from freezer use all the batons and don't store it back.
