      No sorry. I have been through the “ooh, French fries in an air fryer “ air frying every thing that are supposed to taste the same and advertised as tasting the same - but they’re not. Everything tastes different. some may even prefer some things who knows because they’ve not had a proper French fried no, or tasty burger, but I would think they are just starving. I have done the twice and thrice cooked French fries gourmet chips and the secret is the Oil!! Air frying will never taste like normal fried chips. The nearest thing at all (but still down the charts in air or oven chips would be mcCains chips or aldis skinny chips. But that’s because they are brushed to heavens with oil.but are generally soggy if underdone or hard all the way through if overdone. And it’s rare a few turn out slightly unexceptional edible. I hate to burst bubbles here. But he’s right. If you want to have a proper respectable French fried chip he has nailed it. 5 stars!✨

    worked at five guys for 3 years. we cut the potatoes then run them through a machine to get the starch out then soak them in water all day. when we cook them we fry them for a minute or so then take them out the oil and let them cool for at least 2-3 mins. then we fry them again and use the pinch test to check when theyre ready. not a set formula to it because we get potatoes from all over and depending on where theyre from dictates how they cook. the fries should be golden brown and snap easily and when u pinch it the inside should be mashed potatoes. and then we season with salt or cajun seasoning.

    I’m french and fries (frites in french) is a speciality in every region with diffrent recipe.
    - don’t trash the top and the bottom of the potato, use every part.
    - in some region we don’t take off the skin, use every part if you like it.
    - the taste is made by oil or animal fat. In south ouest we use duck fat, in the north beef fat and on the east it’s sunflower oil.
    - don’t touch your fries during the cook ! Use à wok if you cook with duck or porc fat.
    - make 2 round like you do but cook more your fries. It’s Little brown. The second round, your oil/fat is more cold like 10°C less. Let’s go !
    - add salt, peper and if you eat with chicken I recommend adding thyme or herbe de Provence.
    - eat with enjoy !

      It takes 1 day not 3 l don't work in a Michelin star restaurant but I used to work at a BBQ joint in Kansas City which has been rated best fry in the state of kansas many times. This is the process:
      Potatoes are rinsed and cut in the morning, cleaned again right after then left in a big bucket of water in a walk-in fridge. After ~4hrs water is drained and replaced. After another 4 hours water is drained again and the bucket is kept in a walk-in fridge overnight. Next morning the fries are flash-fried/ blanched to that soft white texture, 30 seconds. They are returned to the bucket and wheeled back to the fridge until ready to use, at which point you fry for 2 minutes 45 seconds until they are ready for consumption. This process brings out that distinct "fresh" flavor and crisps up the outside while keeping the inside soft. My comment might be a bit chunky but its not really a complicated process

    My wife makes delicious fries and taught me how to. Give this a shot sometime:
    1. Clean/Rinse your potatoes
    2. Cut them into fries
    3. Rinse until water runs clear
    4. Cook them in boiling water until your fork punctures it without much effort. The fries still need to retain their shape. Boiling time depends on the potato. Some are more dense than others, requiring a longer boil time.
    5. Remove from boiling water and allow to cool. I usually just throw them in some ice water and leave in the fridge for a few minutes. The ice water speeds up this process.
    6. Drain the water and dry with paper towels. I usually fold them over 4 times so that it can absorb as much of the water as possible.
    7. While your fries are drying up, heat up your oil.
    8. Sprinkle the fries with Bicarb/Baking Soda/Baking Powder.
    9. Fry and season
    I know it's lengthy, but it's really good fries and worth the effort

    Literally all you gotta do:

Let them rest and cool down for at least 10 min. The longer the better just no longer than 2 hours. Fry them again for about 3 min to get the perfect crisp shell. You’re welcome

    It takes 1 day not 3 I don't work in a Michelin star restaurant but I used to work at a BBQ joint in Kansas City which has been rated best fry in the state of kansas many times. This is the process:
    Potatoes are rinsed and cut in the morning, cleaned again right after then left in a big bucket of water in a walk-in fridge. After ~4hrs water is drained and replaced. After another 4 hours water is drained again and the bucket is kept in a walk-in fridge overnight. Next morning the fries are flash-fried/ blanched to that soft white texture, 30 seconds. They are returned to the bucket and wheeled back to the fridge until ready to use, at which point you fry for 2 minutes 45 seconds until they are ready for consumption. This process brings out that distinct “fresh” flavor and crisps up the outside while keeping the inside soft. My comment might be a bit chunky but its not really a complicated process

    Most restaurants buy prefrozen fries that have basically been through most of these steps already, meaning you can just fry them up and they’re somehow perfect. Fries at home truly can be better than restaurant fries, but it takes a LOT of prep, so it’s usually only worth doing in large batches so you can basically do your final fry with small portions several times with just one time prepping.

    As a Belgian, who gets perfect homemade fries.
    You cut them, don't rinse or boil them. This will remove the starch, and that's what makes the fries hold their taste and get them crispy on the outside while mash on the inside.
    Fry them once in oil (enough to have them submerged), preferably at lower temperature. (usually I pre-bake them at 170°C/338°F)
    Let them cool.
    Fry them again in the oil.This time I heat the oil to 190°C/374°F.
    And like a true Belgian I then serve them with mayonaise.
    Sorry Americans, I know you don't like this but it's the perfect sauce on fresh fries.

    In case anyone wants the actual secret to having fries come out fantastic and not waiting multiple days, it’s double frying. Rinse your fries till the water doesn’t turn cloudy. Next you can soak your fries for half an hour completely submerged in hot water (boil it then pour it over the fries), add salt, then cover the bowl they’re in. Or you can soak them overnight in the fridge. Overnight does come out a bit better, but the half an hour method is still almost as good. Pat the fries completely dry. Fry at 400-450. Take them out when they’re starting to turn brown. Soak all the oil off the fries, then wait about 10 minutes and put the fries back in. The second frying stage is when they really crisp up. Just take them out when they’re as crispy as you want

    The great thing with double fried French fries: do the cooking in water the day before the party/meal, let cool in fridge over night.
    Next day, whenever you have a few minutes: fry a little bit so that they’re still pale and then stick in the fridge.
    Then take them out and fry when needed.
    They’re crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. They hold the heat very well and can be popped into a few bowls with some good salt and herbs of choice + a tub of garlic mayo… and hey presto = fabulous finger food that goes down a treat and helps soak up the excess cocktail/beers you’ve been indulging in.

    One thing they don’t tell you is that new oil (straight from the bottle) makes bad fries. That’s why many joints fry something in it first like chicken or something then use that for fries.

  • @coldtothebonee3973
    @coldtothebonee3973 3 години тому

    I make the fries at my workplace so ill share how i make them 😉
    1) Cut them to desired size
    2) blanch the fries at 250F for 6 minutes and 45 seconds (we use soybean oil)
    3) take them out and let them cool down (i spread the fries out on some sheet pans and let them sit nearby since im trying to get these done before service starts) while u raise the temp of the oil to 300F. At this point they will be still be pale in color and very soft
    4) ~10+ min later blanch the fries for 2 minutes and 45 seconds
    5) take them out to cool. Here they will start to get some color- dont worry about how pale or dark it looks here- i promise its fine, even if you think they look dark enough to look like its finished the cooking process, or if you think they look like they havent looked like they cooked enough- i make these at least twice a week and while the color is pretty consistent sometimes its a little wonky (at this step sometimes i steal a fry or two while they start to cool down- sometimes having a hot twice blanched unseasoned potato hits the spot ok 👍🏽)
    6.1) at this point you can put them away in your fridge/cooler if you arent wanting fries in that moment or are like me and making huge batches
    6.2) raise the oil temp to 350F
    7) ~10+min later (if youre making them right away) blanch the fries for a third and final time, to your ideal crispiness and color 👍🏽 should not take more than 30s-1min but if you want extra crispy/well done just keep an eye on it
    8) season to taste 👅 personally we keep a squeeze bottle with duck fat so we can quickly drizzle it into the fries before we season with salt and its totally a game changer 👍🏽 other kinds of animal fat like bacon or beef will work too if u prefer that instead

    • @coldtothebonee3973
      @coldtothebonee3973 3 години тому

    @Sams.Videos 24 дні тому +77

    As a Belgian I find your fries waaay too dark. Frying them twice is more than enough. No need for 3 runs. You fry them in oil, then you let them rest. And fry them again and done. Also, never put hot food in the fridge. Let it cool down completely outside of the fridge first. Only then put it in the fridge.
