Equipment
- Dutch oven
- Thermometer
- Cooling rack
- sheet pan
- Tongs or Stainless Steel Spider Strainer
Ingredients
- 1 Bag/650 grams Frozen French Fries *shoestring preferred but use any you like
- 2-3 Tbsp Spicy Mayo
- 2 Tbsp Furikake
Instructions
- Set up the deep frying station. Set up a Dutch Oven on the stovetop. Attach a candy thermometer on the side. Add 1-2 inches of cooking oil. Heat the oil over medium heat until the thermometer reaches 370F/187C.
- Fry the french fries. Add the french fries to the hot oil. Make sure not to crowd the cooking pot and only add enough for a single layer. Be careful of oil splatter, as the frozen french fries are very cold. Deep fry until golden brown and crunchy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Transfer to a cooling rack. Remove the golden fries with a spider strainer or tongs. Transfer to a cooling rack that's fitted over a sheet pan. Make sure to fry the rest of the french fries in batches so they don't get soggy. And make sure the oil reaches 370F/187C once again before adding more fries.
- Add spicy mayo + furikake. Transfer the fries to a serving platter. Drizzle the hot fries with spicy mayo from a squeeze bottle. Add generous sprinkles of furikake on top. If you'd like, you can also add bonito flakes and green onion.
- Serve. Enjoy immediately!
