Soak in icy cold water 1/2 hr, blot dry. Pan sear, bake remaining 15 minutes, turn bake more, 350 degrees.

So what would a good process be to spend an hour or two making vacuum-packs of fries for the freezer... all the prep ahead of time so I can just throw a serving in the deep fryer for 10 minutes when it is time to cook dinner for the family? I don't want to do all that work at the time of. I want to put aside a Saturday afternoon and do all the prep work all at once for several servings, for later.

Props on the proper frying technique, and peanut oil is a good choice, though try lard next time (I swear, no jokes, it's very good). Don't forget to season with coarse salt immediately after you pull them after the second fry though!

The only flaw was the potatoes themselves. Russets are pretty meh frites potatoes. If you can find some, use bintje potatoes, otherwise Yukon Gold potatoes work perfectly well too.

Whip up some homemade mayonnaise while you're in-between the two frying periods and voila, perfect fritedom.

Trip report

McDonald's fries: gummy, thin, all fry.

Wendy's: similar, a bit more potato fluff inside. A larger 'grain'. Slightly more believable.

Burger King: larger grain than wendy's, somehow greasier and less potato flavor.

Jack in the Box: reg fries were the large, generic 'burger place' fry. Shades of flavor.

Curly fries were superior to regular fries, but inferior in crispness to Arbys.

Made some french fries (to go with some delicious hotdogs) (Boars head all beef dogs with fresh toasted rolls) last night.

Peeled and cut some Idaho potatoes in the "shoestring" fashion, rinsed and parboiled and into an ice bath they went. Deep fried them at 375 for a bit, then deep fried them again to get a good crunch. Oh, used peanut oil for the cooking.

They came out great. Served them with ketchup for the kids and malt vinegar for me. Oh, kosher salt.

Anyone else here like french fries? How do you like them and what do you eat them with?

Yeah that's the stuff! I do them in the same way, except that I use rape oil because peanut oil is too expensive here.

You sound boring. People that home deep fry and wear sweatpants are actually geniuses. The fact that you think some social stigma surrounds either of these things makes me wonder what kind of boring life it is that you lead. If someone told me they had a deep fryer I would immediately respect them 100% more, cause they got poo poo figured out. If he's wearing sweatpants I will offer him a job as a life coach because I'm loving up over here. I don't own a deep fryer OR a pair of sweatpants!

stick to pudding. but yeah if jello took a shorter time to make i'd be eatin that poo poo erry day.

You know who has good fries? Five Guys. I think the best fries I've had are those Boardwalk Fries that they serve at theme parks that cost like 5 dollars for a small fry. Also why is there like a massive community of people that put their french fries in their milkshakes? What the gently caress is up with that? Do people make fries at home and then eat them with a bowl of ice cream or something?

its cuz the fry is salty but otherwise has no overpowering taste, never tried chocolate with salted pretzels in it? good as hell

if the fry isn't salty then i simpy cannot explain the appeal.

Way back in my youth in my old home town there was a chicken place called Stamm's . You could go there and get a pound of fries for 25 cents. Literally one pound of hot french fries, wrapped up in foil. It was a good deal.
