For a successful Homemade crispy French Fries, try to buy the rough and dark outside potatoes peels with a few water from the inside. Since i live in Belgium and french fries is one of main dishes, i find this type of potatoes easily and they write on it ‘Fritte’, But here i tried to give you a good instruction so you can be satisfied of the result.
Also, one of the reason why potatoes turn mushy that some people place the potatoes early in a cold oil and not waiting to let the oil get hot enough, and this is a main reason why it turned mushy. Potatoes should fried in a hot oil and with a depth enough to cover the potatoes fingers with oil so it turned crispy and delicious.
