Patate Fritte Perfette (Italian French Fries) Perfect fries are not just potatoes dropped into hot oil. The result depends on the potato variety, the cut, starch removal, drying, frying temperature and the relationship between thickness and cooking time. The professional method uses two stage frying: the first fry cooks the interior and creates structure, while the second fry produces the golden, crisp exterior.
