Homemade Julienne Potatoes Recipes

HOW TO JULIENNE POTATOES

Steps:

• The most common reason to Julienne a potato is for French Fries, (for which I've got a really great French Fry recipe here). Whether you bake, fry, sauté them...you still need to cut them. And besides potatoes, knowing how to do the Julienne cut is a critical knife skill for any home cook. The process is pretty simple, if you know the technique. Too often people are either intimidated, or just plain inexperienced using a knife, and that can cause you to move slowly, or even worse, move unsafely. Check out the video, and the steps below, and I hope you find this technique useful. How to Julienne a Potato One of the first principles to know is that it's easier to cut potatoes (or anything really) once they have a flat side Since they are round, our first cut makes a flat side; then we go from there Decide how thick/thin you'd like your potatoes and each cut should be made at that same thickness Hold the potato, and slice off one side, making a "plank", down the long side of the potato Rotate the potato so the flat side is now on the cutting board, and it's more stable Now continue to make planks moving along the potato until complete Lay the planks flat on the cutting board, and slice through them, again with the same width cut Once you're through your planks, you've got your Julienned potatoes. If needed, you can shorten the sticks by slicing them in half
