The article emphasizes the joy of homemade French fries and highlights the importance of salting them correctly for optimal flavor and texture. Key advice from Dr. Potato suggests salting fries immediately after frying, while they are still hot, to ensure the salt adheres properly and preserves their crispness. The type and size of salt also matter, with kosher salt being recommended due to its ability to season evenly without overwhelming the fries. Additionally, the article advises against adding salt to frying oil, as it degrades the oil's effectiveness.
"I recommend not salting the fries 'til they come out of the fryer, and even then, waiting for an order before salting, as the fries can turn limp prematurely if salted too soon."
"As those steamy and crisp fries emerge from the fryer, a thin layer of residual frying oil coats each fry's surface. This helps the salt crystals adhere to the potato."
