Step 1:
How to make French fries in a slow cooker? Prepare the products. Take large potatoes, 4 pieces are just enough for 2 servings. I do not advise frying a larger amount at a time, it is better to make several visits. Choose refined sunflower oil for frying.
Step 2:
Wash the potatoes thoroughly under running water, removing heavy dirt with a brush. Clean it and wipe it with a paper towel to get rid of excess moisture. Cut the peeled tubers into long strips. Try to make the same pieces so that they are evenly fried.
Step 3:
Put the sliced potatoes on a paper towel and blot it to remove the protruding starch — dry potatoes will become more ruddy when fried.
Step 4:
Pour vegetable oil into the bowl of the slow cooker. Calculate its amount depending on the size of the bowl and the volume of potatoes — it should float freely in oil. Choose a mode suitable for frying on the slow cooker — it can be "Frying", "Fries" or, like me, "Baking". Look at your model. If you can choose the temperature, then set 140-160 degrees. Preheat the oil.
Step 5:
Check whether the oil has warmed up well enough in a simple way. Dip a piece of potato into it. If bubbles gather around it, then you can start the frying process. Gently dip the potatoes into the butter.
Step 6:
Leave the potatoes to fry with the lid open. The frying time will depend on the power of your slow cooker. In some models, 15-20 minutes is enough, mine was fried for all 30. Also keep in mind that the potatoes will not be as ruddy as from the fryer — they will only be slightly gilded. At the end of frying, salt the potatoes to taste.
Step 7:
Fish out the potatoes with a plastic skimmer. You can put it on a paper towel to remove excess fat. Ready potatoes are immediately served to the table. Bon appetit!

Serve various sauces with French fries — tomato, cheese, garlic, curry.

Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it. How to determine the roasting temperature and choose the best oil for frying, and which is better not to use at all, read here .

Keep in mind that the cooking time and mode are indicated approximately in the recipe. All slow cookers work differently and even the same models of the same manufacturer may have their own characteristics. Before you start cooking a new dish for you in a slow cooker, carefully study the instructions for it, and then in practice try to cook dishes that are familiar to you first, and then new ones, choosing the mode and time individually for your own technique.

Root vegetables are best washed with a brush or a hard sponge under running water.
