Julienne fries are slender, crispy deep-fried potatoes that are made by slicing potatoes into matchstick shapes. While frozen versions exist, they often contain additives. Making them from scratch involves washing and peeling potatoes, then cutting them with a knife or a mandoline to ensure uniformity. This guarantees consistent cooking. A mandoline is recommended for even slicing, while hand-cutting is an alternative if care is taken. Altering the length of the fries produces different styles, such as matchstick or shoestring fries.
Preparing your own julienne fries takes a little more time but is worth the effort because you'll only be using two common ingredients: a flavorless oil for deep frying and spuds.
Using a mandoline to prepare your julienne fries results in pieces that are uniformly shaped, ensuring even cooking and consistent color.
