French fries in the Redmond slow cooker are practically no different from a similar dish sold in fast food restaurants. Moreover, such a lunch, made by oneself, is several times cheaper. It should also be noted that today there are several options for how to fry potatoes in deep fat. Let's consider two of them in more detail.
How to quickly cook french fries in a multi-cooker "Redmond"?
Most people believe that making such a fried snack at home is long and difficult. But this is an erroneous opinion, because the deep-fried vegetable becomes usable after 10-13 minutes of heat treatment.
So, to prepare such a dish we will need:
- long potatoes (preferably red) - 1 kg;
- small sea salt - add to the finished snack to taste;
- refined sunflower oil - about 1 liter.
Vegetable processing
French fries in the Redmond multicooker turn out to be the most delicious if you use a vegetable with a red peel to cook it. Thus, the product must be well washed, peeled and cut into long slices up to one centimeter thick. After this, the potatoes should be rinsed again in cool water, and then shaken vigorously and completely deprived of the liquid.
Cooking process
You can cook french fries in the Redmond multicooker using different modes. In this recipe, we will detail how to make such a dish using a frying program.
To do this, pour refined sunflower oil into the bowl of the device (up to half the capacity), and then turn on the above mode and wait 2 minutes until the vegetable fat heats up. Next, you need to take a deep-frying grate, put a small amount of potatoes in it and put in a slow cooker. In this case, the oil should boil, and not “explode”.
If vegetables are evenly distributed over a metal basket, then you do not need to take it out again. If the potato is poorly fried due to an uncomfortable position, then the deep-frying grid should be carefully removed and the contents scattered in sharp directions in different directions. In this case, to stir vegetables, in no case should you use a spoon or spatula. After all, it will damage the potatoes, as a result of which it will become too soft.
Proper serving
After the french fries in the Redmond multicooker become rosy and soft, the basket must be carefully removed from boiling oil, then shaken vigorously and put the contents on a plate. Next, the finished vegetable must be flavored with salt and presented to the table in a hot state.
Cooking frozen french fries in a slow cooker
Despite the fact that this method of cooking fried potatoes is longer, it is more popular among fast food lovers than the previous one. This fact is connected with the fact that such a dish turns out to be especially tasty and appetizing due to the fact that the slices of the frozen vegetable in boiling oil are uniformly covered with a rosy and crispy crust, while inside they remain soft and tender.
To prepare a snack of potatoes, we need:
- potato oval (preferably young) - 1 kg;
- small sea salt, dried herbs, curry and other seasonings - add to the finished snack to taste;
- tomato sauce or ketchup - for serving;
- fresh garlic - a couple of cloves (for sauce);
- refined sunflower oil - about 1 liter.
Vegetable preparation
As in the previous recipe, young potatoes should be washed, peeled and cut into long and not very thick slices. After that, they must be dried, placed on paper napkins, and then placed in a bag and sent to the freezer for 2 hours. After this time, the vegetables should become hard, like ice. They need to be kept for several minutes at room temperature, and then immediately proceed to heat treatment.
Roasting process
French fries in the Redmond multicooker should be cooked in the special Deep Fry mode until a golden crust is obtained. To do this, pour a sufficient amount of vegetable oil into the bowl of the device, and then insert the basket of vegetables. Make such an appetizer until the surface of the potato becomes slightly reddish. After this, the deep-frying grate must be carefully removed from the hot oil and the vegetables allowed to stand in it until the fat drains completely. Next, the potatoes should be hot seasoned with salt, dried herbs and other aromatic seasonings.
How to serve to the table?
French fries cooked in a slow cooker are recommended to be brought to the table only when hot. After all, cooling slightly, vegetables lose their crunchy properties, become soft and lose their shape. In addition to such an appetizer, you should present a bowl with tomato sauce or ketchup mixed with grated garlic and curry. Enjoy your meal!
