MY FAVOURITE FOOD

If we talk about my favorite food, I could say that they are the potatoes, because there are several preparations that I can make with them, such as mashed potatoes, baked potatoes, french fries, etc..

But undoubtedly my favorite preparation are potatoes fries also known as French fries, which are potatoes that are prepared by cutting them into slices, in the form of sticks or squares and then frying them in hot oil.

The preparation is very simple, so we just need :

1. Potatoes
2. Oil
3. A frying pan or deep fryer

We start by washing the potatoes very well, trying to remove as much dirt as possible. Then we peel them, making sure that there are no peel remains. Then we chop the potatoes in the desired cut. Next, we leave them soaking for at least half an hour to remove the remains of soil and reduce the starch, making them crispier and not sticking when frying.

Once all the previous steps are ready we put oil in a frying pan or deep fryer, we wait for it to heat up and when it is hot, we put the potatoes to fry making sure that they are all submerged in the oil so that they cook homogeneously, the time that they take will be relative, so we must be attentive and when we see that they are golden brown it will mean that they are ready.

Finally we put the potatoes in a bowl with absorbent paper to remove the remains of oil that are left on them, finally add salt to taste and enjoy some nice fries, and if we want we can accompany them with toppings such as ketchup, mustard, cheese sauce, etc.

I personally like them because I consider them very tasty, and since I was a little girl my mom used to prepare them for my birthday and sometimes to celebrate good news.

And what I also like is that they are present in different preparations, since potatoes fries are considered an accompaniment.

It's important to remember that they should be eaten in moderation and not continuously, because let's not forget that potatoes contain carbohydrates and fats, so their excessive consumption could be harmful to health.
