Grandicap's Cheesy Herby Frenched Fries

Ok, so I totally forgot to take pictures of the initial steps of this, and as a the mod I'm deeply ashamed, but let's start with the ingredients and equipment you'll need.

Ingredients
Russet Potatoes
Herbs
Oil
Salt
Cheese

Equipment
Mandolin (optional)
Knife
Rimmed Baking Sheet
Parchment Paper (optional)
Oven

Steps
1) Cut your potatoes to desired size on your mandolin. Here's a pic of the mandolin I used, but no picture of me cutting things. I went with shoestring size because for this mandolin, that was a big as I could get them.

2) Put cut potatoes into a bowl of water, change the water a couple of times until it runs clear. This is washing the excess starch off of the taters.
3) Drain your cut potatoes and dry them well, moisture is the enemy of crispy fries. Also, if you are frying instead of baking it's way more important so you don't get splattered by oil, but it's important if you are baking them too.
4) Preheat your oven to 375^oF.
5) Dice some herbs. I used parsley and thyme. Ignore the butter in the pic, that was for a different recipe.

6) Toss your taters with some oil and the herbs and, then spread out on a single layer on some rimmed baking sheets.
7) Bake your herby potatoes at 375^oF for like 20 minutes, if you went with like steak cut fries, do it for 25 minutes instead. It should come out like this.

Now you can put them in some sort of air tight container and store for quite some time in the fridge and even longer in the freezer. Either way, cooking them a second time is how you get crispy fries.

8) Put some of your par cooked fries on a baking sheet (or keep them there if you didn't store them for later), toss them with some salt to taste at this point, you can add more herbs here too, taste your undercooked fries if you want to now, they will be soggy, but not raw, so you can get an idea for seasoning.
9) Bake the potatoes at 500^oF for like 20 more minutes, this should crisp them up.

10) Add cheese, no, more than that.

11) Cook for anther 3-5 minutes at 500, or broil.

12) Eat your baked frenched fried herby, cheesy potatoes!

Grandicap's Cheesy Herby Frenched Fries are worth 25 points.

Mr Moderator, have you tried freezing them in between the first and second cook? I remember something about frozen taters being the key to crispy taters.

And I�m just going to assume you made a mistake and meant to say �Mexican oregano� in your recipe.

(Honestly regular oregano is good too, but if I don�t have Mexican oregano I often use tarragon as a sub. It has more of that dry taste that I consider the real difference between oregano and Mexican oregano)

# ¿ Sep 8, 2021 19:14

Voodoofly: Jul 3, 2002; Some days even my lucky rocket ship underpants don't help

Oh you add the oregano in the cook, not as a garnish. Yeah doesn�t matter at all then what type you use.

Ancho and guajillo are dried chilies and on the less hot more flavor side. But if you are worried I�d go with merks other option and buy ancho or guajillo paste and the add it to taste slowly so you don�t make it too hot.

Also if you do get it too hot a little bit of vinegar often can help cool it off. Like a teaspoon in the broth. Go with something neutral in flavor if you can (rice vinegar, etc)

I�m not a huge fan of how acidic green bell peppers are but I can see that. I�d probably do some mild Italian sweet pepper finely diced because I prefer sweetness to acid in chili (habinero over Serrano for example). Also a huge Anaheim or poblano is generally little heat if you remove seeds and rib flesh.

Tomorrow I shall attempt something out of my comfort zone: dinosaur pancakes (or other requested animal).

It shall be horrible. You will all laugh. Check out my last attempt at a triceratops:

I guess I could have pretended that I did that now but when you cheat at cooking you only cheat yourself.

But plastic was scum in my last game and I want revenge!

# ¿ Sep 9, 2021 22:23

Voodoofly: Jul 3, 2002; Some days even my lucky rocket ship underpants don't help

So I've debated this a bit once I realized how the spice rack works: the spice I know seems to grant a power that is inherently more useful for scum. Is it best to say nothing, to say what the power is but not the spice, or to just come clean and then as a group maybe we can try to determine who would have taken that spice as some sort of scum tell? Not even sure if that third one would work.

It�s very funny that every single game I�m in there�s some contingent of people who don�t understand that sometimes people want a mason so they can poo poo post more and it�s not a grand strategy or conspiracy.

For many years I was on the "mason's are worthless" bandwagon.

I have changed. Masons are great. But not everyone has seen the light.

Yeah CPIG was thinking what I was thinking. One of the spices lets you swap players spices, including taking their spice and giving it to you. So if I had SWAPPY SPICE and I target someone with a cop or doc, I give them swappy spice and take their power (the swappy power doesn't get used in that case, so they could use it to swap again later on).

You're asking we not hammer until close to the actual deadline because you misplaced your recipe? Lol

My recipe is in, my husband is having surgery tomorrow but if all goes well I should be around in plenty of time for deadline. I'll probably be phone posting here and there from the hospital. I am hoping to do some cooking while he's passed out.

I just saw this rereading you. Hope the surgery has gone or is going well.

Toalp, I don't think you are scum, and I'd like to play in a game where you live to day 2 again after our last couple games, so take this for what it is:

Do you think anyone voting someone for not cooking in a cooking mafia game is doing it for scummy reasons, as opposed to just embracing the game?

Lets do another one:

"I'm on your side bud, but you're unreasonable and I don't like your arguments."

Thanks for the support voodoo. If you're scum, I think it's a pretty nasty scum play. You're just positioning yourself my execution if I don't post food pics in 5 hours.

I'm on your side. I'm not voting you or anyone else because they don't post food - if anything keeping the game vanilla is probably pro-town as scum can coordinate actions with the spices much easier. I just don't think it's anything more than neutral for someone else to vote you for not posting cooking.

But you should vote Plastic with me. Plastic was on the scum team that took you out night 1 in whatever that last game was.

If PA is telling the truth then PA knows where the vig is. If PA is scum then scum already know where the vig is, but we can then execute scum.

If PA is town then at least we keep vig knowledge away from scum.

Plus REVENGE!!!

I�ve been cooking since 700am and completely forgot that we are playing a game. But I�ll have some good food for you all in a bit.

Also plastic was revenge but also a gut vote. The response about the vig and the handful of posts then nothing felt as good as anything to vote. Haven�t really looked at their posts today.
