About Instant Pot French Fries Recipe:
The origins of the French fry are lost to history, although it is generally accepted that the fry as we know it came into being in Belgium or northern France sometime in the early nineteenth century. French fries are reliable. They can be counted on as a familiar taste regardless of whatever else might be on the menu. Millions of dollars are spent to ensure the consistency of your favorite fast-food fry.
Which potatoes type is best for Instant Pot French Fries?
Before you choose potatoes for your Instant Pot French Fries recipe, be sure you know the difference between the various types. The best potato for French fries contains high solids and not a lot of water. The sugar content must be just right as well to produce a nice golden color. The flesh of the potato should be textured and full and never waxy. Fortunately, one of the most readily available potatoes, the Russet Burbank, fits these requirements perfectly.
If you aren’t sure what kind you have, test by slicing. If the knife is coated with a creamy white film or if the potato lightly clings to the knife, the potato is starchy. If it doesn’t, it’s a waxy potato. If it has only a little creamy film, it’s probably a good all-purpose potato, and it should work well in most dishes.
Which oil is best for frying?
Besides the perfect potato type used to instant pot French Fries recipe, the type of oil used for frying has the next biggest effect on the flavor and quality of a French fry. The ideal oil has a high smoke point and does not impart unpleasant flavors to the fry.
The most common oil used in commercial kitchens is generally a vegetable oil derived from soy oil, which is high in polyunsaturated fats. And the most important thing that it has a mild flavor and a high smoke point. Canola oil, pioneered in Canada, is produced from rapeseed and is also very commonly used. Canola oil can have a slightly more noticeable taste and odor when used to fry than peanut oil.
My personal favorite oil for French fries is refined Canola oil. It will be used as our frying oil for this Instant Pot French Fries Recipe.
