>peel the potatoes and cut them into sticks
>wash the sticks in a bowl under running water to remove the excess starch
>boil in water + a cup of vinegar for 10-15 minutes until fork tender (or even more, until they start to fall apart)
>drain and place them on a wire rack to dry
>put them in the fridge or even in the freezer for a few hours
>fry in oil at 130° C for 5 minutes or slightly more
>remove from oil and set aside to cool (you could also freeze them at this point)
>fry again at 190° C until golden
if it's too much of a hassle, just wash, carefully dry, and then fry twice like described

>Peel the potatoes
For what purpose
>Wash the sticks
Nigga they're gonna release a fuckton of starch to the boiling water regardless

I liked to make them in the oven better

What I do is make air popped popcorn and then spray a little cooking spray on it and sprinkle chili powder and aspartame on it.
This is a crunchy starchy snack loaded with fiber which is healthy for you. Fries are unhealthy.
This popcorn takes minutes to make and tastes so good that I doubt I will bother with any other snack.

>>19837666
1. Peel the potato
2. Make the rest of the fucking fry

A cutter speeds up the process but isn't required.
Fry them in 3 steps of 2min cooking waiting for the oil to reheat between cooking.

After eating enough frozen fries from the store and trying to prepare batches of my own fries to freeze which subsequently turned into black sludge in the freezer, I learned that you have to cook the fries once before freezing them in order to be able to freeze them long term, and also to remove liquid from them.

>>19837840
>aspartame
for what purpose

>>19837934
it's a sweetener. I add it to everything. walmart brand. It's far healthier than adding salt or real sugar to stuff.

>>19838020
it's already done a number on you, huh

>>19838020
The words 'sweetener' and 'healthy' should not be used in the same sentence.

>"french fry cutter" needs to be imprinted into the mold
Remember chefs deserve $15/hour and health insurance!

are you deep frying?

if baking adding baking soda to the par boil is nice for oven

I'll bet two people, each only working one of those couldn't handle the lunch traffic of an average McDonald's.

A better video, also better fries.

>>19838682
Soaking them in water overnight might be the better way to go, but cooking them in water is superior to par-cooking them in oil. I've tried both.

I don't know a single place that pays less than 15 an hour after covid

dominos pays minimum wage, and less than minimum wage for delivery drivers.

Buy yukon golds. Cut them up. Put them in a pot, then fill pot up with oil, enough that they're floating and then some. Turn burner on, don't touch the fries. When they're noticeably golden, start moving them around and keep stirring until they look done. Remove from oil and salt. Least fussy and most tasty fries imo.

Cut em up put em in bowl of salted water. Leave em in fridge for at least 30 minutes. Take em out pat em dry. Get some beef tallow and fry em up

minimum where I live is 7.25 and if you paid that you would simply have zero employees. I live in the middle of dickfuck nowhere Pennsulvania and average wage for shit jobs is like 15-19 an hour.

>>19837778
If they're starting to fall apart you're going to have a bad time. I just over boiled some home fries that I finished in the oven and even that wasn't optimal. Frying them would have created more force on the fries/worse for their integrity. Also I dunno I will always prefer wedges to sticks. Theory still applies though if anything a stick will be more fragile then a wedge.

Every sweetener has been shown to cause cancer so they always bring out new ones that are always shown to cause cancer.
>cooking spray
Ohh I get it. You got me.

>>19839263
boiling them until they're almost turned into mush helps to create a rugged surface that would later become super crispy when frying.
it's doable, but it's better not to cut them too thin and you have to drain them very carefully to not break all the pieces. After cooling down they'll harden significantly.

>>19837666
I hear the rallies/checkers fries are the best but I haven't tried them ever.

>>19837916
I've made batches all at once just leaving them in water filled bags after cutting/rinsing then using them days later.
Never done boiling or freezing, just fry once then leave them sit until meal is about ready and fry another minute.
Dump into paper towel in strainer and toss with salt.

fries are only unhealthy if you use seed oils. Use tallow, lard, or ghee and they're fjne

Here you go anon but there’s a fair amount of effort involved. https://www.seriouseats.com/perfect-french-fries-recipe

>fries are only unhealthy if you use seed oils. Use tallow, lard, or ghee and they're fjne
seed oils are healthier than animal fats.
That doesn't mean you should consume them, however. All fat should be consumed sparingly.

>>19837666
based trips
also, use a fry cutter.

Animal fat concentrate is unhealthy.
I can see how fat you are just from text alone.

i am thin. I can do 50 push ups in one go.

does parboiling and baking in oven work ok
what do

I got an air fryer (no ovens before), what do you guys propose?

>>19837666
Step 1: Air Fryer

do you use raw potato with air fryer?

>>19837666
get the right potato, not even trolling one bit

Frozen fries + air fryer

>>19840388
mashed

>>19840388
actual gorumet fries are some kind of combination of frozen, boiled, fried at low temp then at high tem
google it
BUT, the kind of potato matters way more than people think, the right potato is top-tier just fried once (I'm talking with oil and on a pan)

>>19837883
if i don't have one of these can i use a tennis racket on a longways potato instead?
