Abstract
A method for producing french fried potato strips which includes washing and cutting raw potatoes into suitably sized strips. The raw potato strips are steam blanched, immersed in a hot brine solution, partially dehydrated in hot air, par fried in oil, and then frozen. After par frying, the strips have a solids content of about 20 to 45 percent by weight. The frozen french fries are reconstituted by finish frying, and have a sodium chloride content of about 0.5 to 2 percent by weight.
