The hardest part in cooking some fries? The peeling and cutting and even that's easy just kinda time consuming depending on what kind of fries u want but yea nice vids keep em up

[kooktocook]

Yes, I agree. Most cooking is the prep-time. I often buy some 'new' potatoes (cleaned and scrubbed already). Then I just cut them up and enjoy them with the peel. A bit more money though. Thank you. cheers! KtC

We have them in many shapes. I suppose these are more typical to a Chip Truck Style. Many chip trucks here :)

You literally use paper instead of paper towels... I've never seen this done before. They look great!

[kooktocook]

Yes, usually the brown lunch bag type. I find the paper towels stick to the food when fresh out of the oil. I use about two bags though for they are not as absorbent. cheers! KtC

Hi dear.. I love the formate of your videos... They are quick and i love this..

Can you please explain me why you removed the pan from the heat for 5 minutes?? Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kooktocook]

Typically the pros will let the fries cook for a bit at one temp. let them cool a bit and then finish them off with a higher heat. Although they are in the oil for a bit of time not much to soak up any extra oils. They will continue to cook off the stove, settle a bit and then 'back on the heat. Shortly after they will be crispy brown and importantly 'cooked in the middle/ fluffy'. Just a method I use at home without having them burnt and not cooked through. cheers! KtC

This is the part for me which is a little more difficult. I will try it again. Thank you! :D

[kooktocook]

Just let the fries cook up a bit and then remove from the heat for a few minutes. Return to the heat to 'crispin' them up. Good Luck! KtC

[nabeshabu]

I prepared them as you described them and they turned out very well :D I used rice oil, which has a very high smoking point. When they were done, I melted a couple of slices of Jarlsberg on top of them for a sort of poutine without the gravy. Gotta watch my waistline you know, lol! Cheers!

[fernerocks]

im guessing to let the oil soak into the potatoes to give it a taste but im just guessing

[kooktocook]

the oil will be too hot to soak into the potatoes in the brief time it is removed from the heat. This method just allows them to continue cooking without burning them. Good Luck! KtC

This would taste so good with your buffalo chicken sandwich

Now thats what Im talking about!

[Truehorn99]

Yes blanching the friies before you recook them is good to do. But, you need to cut them up even sizes, let them soak in water to get the starch out. Starch causes them to steam and that is how they get soggy. Once you blance them, remove from the oil, let fries cool, then fry till golden brown. Also, you over crowded the pan that reduces the temp you want of 350-375, use peanut oil, it has a highter smoke point.

I tried this style of cooking fries with smaller cut pieces, your everyday type processed fries, and they came out great. The 5 minutes away from the fire makes a helluva difference; now the insides aren't all soggy. Thank man!

[xJianwei92x]

isn't that wedges? hmm look tasty :D

[lazyasspau]

mmm! my momsie makes them just like u =) these taste great seasoned with some garlic salt. serve witha big o' piece of juicy steak and its just heavenly....*****

[sinterdesint]

MMM Im a college student from Amsterdam, and we dont have a frituurpan (dutch word for deep frying pan), so is is really a great alternative for us! Thanks for the video!

Gonna make me some this weekend :D

[kooktocook]

Your welcome. A deep frier is certainly a good way to go, but this works very good too. Just keep the heat at medium, keep stirring and do not leave 'unattended'. cheers! KtC

[jfsoller]

Those look great! Thanks!
