Finger chips or French fries are the snacks or starters that are made from potatoes. Potatoes are peeled and cut in to finger shaped strips and deep fried in oil at a very high temperature. You have to choose large potatoes, so that you get enough elongated strips that resembles a finger. These strips of potatoes are then half-boiled with salt. If you want, you can add a little bit of turmeric powder to get slight yellow colour to your fries. There may be various methods to prepare French fries, but I make it in this way and it really comes out well.
Ingredients
Large potatoes - 1 kg
Water - as required
Salt - as per taste
Oil - to deep fry
How to prepare
Wash and peel potatoes.
Cut in to 1/4 inch elongated strips.
Take a large vessel and add striped potatoes into it and pour water.
Pour more than enough (almost double the quantity) water to cover the potatoes.
Add a little bit of turmeric (optional) and salt to taste.
Boil until potatoes are half cooked.
Don't forget to stir in between.
Drain excess water and spread it in a flat vessel and allow to cool.
When it is cooled freeze it in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
Heat oil and fry the potato strips until it becomes golden brown.
Serve at once with tomato ketchup.
