The prefect "FRENCH FRY"!

[Pollypurabred]

Interesting article and while I have tried the double frying, using some of the recipes at the americastestkitchen dotcom and soaking the the cut french fries in the refrig. for 12 hours before frying, I haven't gone to these extremes:

Most restaurants that serve homemade Fries(fresh cut not frozen) use the blanch method...
Crisper/browner fries..
However u must use the solution suggested or the uncooked fries will turn black within hours.

I miss the old McDonalds fries,before they got sued by the hindus and vegetarians.They were so good you didn't need ketchup.
At one time the oil mix ratio was posted on the net,the trick was the beef tallow and cottonseed oil.

From articles I've read it was a 94/6 ratio tallow to cottonseed oil. Also found another link to how Mickey Dees do their fries today.

Healthy fries?

Use extra-virgin olive oil, do not boil

You should try sweet potatoes if your looking for a healthy fry.

That cookingissues site is far too technical and I don't think I'll resort to chemicals or sanding my fries.

There's got to be an easy way the chip trucks in Ontario do it....it's got to be something basic that we're missing here. Anyone here work in any of those chip trucks?

If you're after unhealthy but good you have to try a quebecois recipe called poutine ; home made french fries, thick beef gravy and greasy curd cheese.

To die for ( or eat enough of them and it will kill you) - guaranteed .lol

Now they taste like cardboard. Did they change the recipe globally or just some places?
