    So here is a fun fact for you. I am from India and I am from a community of people called Sindhi's. We have a dish called Alu Tuk which is basically triple cooked fried potato. My grandmother made this for me all the time. So we par boil the potato, then chill it, then deep fry on a low temp to finish the cooking and then squash the potato and fry a 2nd time to get it really crunchy and crispy. Then we season it with a couple of spice powders like dried mango powder, red chilli powder and salt. But I always just ate them with salt. One of the best if not the best potato dish in the world according to me.

    Heston Blumenthal also has a recipe for English roast potatoes which is probably similar to this and I believe he says "boil it as long as you dare" or something like that.
    I'd be concerned about warming the fridge with hot parboiled fries/potatoes. I made a massive batch of roast potatoes at Christmas and used a fan to cool the potatoes. I think I'm a genius. They cooled and dried in minutes although it turned the kitchen into a sauna.

    The sour garlic salt doesn't sound weird, and makes total sense... Similar concept to using malt vinegar. You're getting that sour acid kick to balance the salty nature of the fry.

    In reality Michelin restaurants aren't exactly known for serving french fries. They typically have bread and butter as 'the cheap thing to fill you up'. I've never been but from what I've seen in a video the fat duck doesn't do it either. I've had them only once at a Michelin restaurant and I've been to a lot of them. It was a no stars place that was mentioned in the guide. It was more like a village inn which happened to have a good cook. Great place btw.

    Starchy white (In Tasmania Up-To-Dates or our secret potato in the off season) ie the flesh is white. Steam until you can jsut put a fork through without breaking the potato. Let cool - steam is the enemy of crunch. Then use high boiling point oil (canola, vegetable, etc) in an oven at 180 c place chips, potatoes or what ever shape - leaving at least a finger’s width of space around each piece in the baking pan and enough oil comes up to around 1/3 height of whatever shape of potato you use. Bake for around 30 min until it starts to just go golden. Flip all of them. Turn the oven up to 220 c and let them cook til you get colour you like.. just remember the the ideal is just slightly golden as the potatoes are fluffy inside and crunchy outside…don’t leave in the oven remove and serve immediately.

    • @jameswallen4854
      @jameswallen4854 3 дні тому

      Thanks, Matt! I've done this technique with breakfast potatoes and added a little baking soda to the water is another technique. It alkalinizes the water and breaks down the pectin in the potato to bring the natural starches up to the surface. This, combined with the like pot shaking gives you some stellar crunch

    I’ve attempted this thrice and have failed each time. Every time, I’ve cooked them too long. A bit less each time, but perhaps I’ll get them right next time.
    Or perhaps this recipe just can’t reasonably be done in the oven.

  • @OmegaII2003
    @OmegaII2003 22 години тому

    Michelin star Belgian fries, will it never get corrected, are 1cm by 1cm. Don't wash them, you need the starch, for alumettes or thinner fries you need to wash them so they don't stick togheter in the frying pan. Bake them at 140°C for 5 minutes. Then let them cool until room temperature. Then fry them at 170-180°C untill golden brown. Not the overfried junk you just showed :D And if you have more then one frying pan. The prebake in animal fat, and the second time in plant based oil. Enjoy the real fries!
