Crispy Potato Fries At Home – Crispy Potato Bites!!

Crispy potato fries at home is a very simple recipe. Today I’m making my extra crispy potato fries bites. This recipe uses the double frying method with cornstarch so that you get extra crispy fries every single time! These potato bites are super addictive so be sure to make a large batch as you can store them in the freezer after the first round of frying is done.

This way you always have them on hand whenever the craving hits! I used this recipe to make potato bites but it can also be used to make crispy potato wedges or crispy french fries too. This recipe is a foolproof way to get crispy fries at home every single time.

Just make sure to cool the fries after the first round of frying is done. It might be a bit soggy at this point but the second fry will remove all the moisture and turn it extra crisp.
