This is a must-have for any fish-fry. Frying the onions in oil before the potatoes adds subtle flavour to the fries. Plus, the onions become meltingly tender inside with crisp edges and a wicked sweetness.
Ingredients
- Vegetable oil, for deep frying
- 3 lb baking potatoes
- 2 sweet onions, halved and cut into 1/2-inch (1cm) thick slices
- 1/2 tsp salt
Preparation
In deep fryer or deep pot, pour in enough oil to come no more than halfway up side; heat to 375°F (190°C) on deep-fryer thermometer or until 1-inch (2.5 cm) cube of white bread turns golden in 30 seconds.
Meanwhile, scrub potatoes; cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch (5 mm) thick slices. Stacking 2 or 3 at a time, cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch (5 mm) wide sticks.
Working in batches, oil-blanch potatoes until barely golden yet still crisp, 30 to 60 seconds. Transfer to paper towel–lined baking sheet to drain.
Working in batches, fry onions until golden, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to separate paper towel–lined baking sheet.
Working in batches, fry potatoes until tender and golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to paper towel–lined baking sheet to drain. Toss with onions; sprinkle with salt.
