I Fixed In-N-Out Burgers French Fries Problem

[@thatdudecancook]

I love IN-N-OUT burgers but the fries needed a little tender loving care... also FYI I put the celsius instructions in the description I forgot to add them to the video, also if you like this video format drop some suggestions in the comments below about what else might need a little fixing up and HAPPY COOKING TO YOU ALL!!

I totally agree they should change nothing just to fry them twice! I love IN-N-OUT! Awesome video!

[@chrisgeorge84]

I worked at in n out the fries doneness depends on the fry guy. Its a lvl 4 position and he’s supposed to have pride in his job. But since its so busy all the time they usually take the fries out a littlebit early. Alwasy asl for “light well” or “well”

[@David_Watts]

Don't be surprised if they become another style on the menu...👍👍 TD style..That Dude

[@trublgrl]

Maybe the trick is to order your fries light, and have someone at home get your oil up to temp when you are out picking them up. Then get them home and BOOM! Into the second fry! I actually do this with rotisserie chicken. The skin is never very crispy, so when I buy one, I toss it in a hot oven for eight to ten minutes, comes out awesome.

I have frozen my fries after the first fry for later use. They are even better when fried off and lightly salted. I love your videos. Thank you for the tips!!!

[@williamkuhns2387]

Freshly cut potatoes made into shoestring fries ideally need to soak in water filled five gallon buckets or lexan cambro tubs with a wet cotton towels covering them overnight (potatoes float). This soaking eliminates the starch and makes the fries so much better. While this works in an independent restaurant in a fast food chain like I.-n-O. there is simply no time. Time vs. volume issue. Also blanching in hot oil first, freezing then frying again are one reason why Micky Ds fries have that perfect combination. Now if I.-n-O. can come up with a cost effective improvement on their milkshake liquid concentrate...

hey that dude can cook. love your channel. ive noticed "other" channels are making your rosemary salt! i know youre the original!

[@LoudMouth_]

There's a similar method to this you can do with an air-fryer: - Boil the fries for 5-6 minutes in the salted & vinegared water, then after a few minutes drying, place into the air-fryer at 150C/300F for 10 minutes, then give them a shake and return for another 10 minutes at 160C/320F. - Take them out and toss in a little oil before returning at 210C/410C for 5+ minutes checking until you get the right amount of crisp. Because we're air-frying here was can also season and flavour the fries while tossing in oil with some salt, pepper and garlic before the final cook.

[@HeySteven.]

Yeah, the only way to do what you did in a restaurant like In-N-Out is to pre-cook things, and that goes against their philosophy they cook everything fresh.

[@MM-hz6fn]

been making these this week to serve with carbonnade flamande. they stand up really well to being saturated in the beer/onion gravy, perfectly crisp even though i'm covering everything in gravy. killer.

[@jonathankidwell6889]

In N Out uses Kennebec potatoes. This variety can come out okay if its cut fresh and fried just once. People love the gimmick of watching them fresh cut the fries at In n Out. Using that variety allows the restaurant to use the cut fresh and fry immediately method. It still will never be as good as a fry that has been cooked in 2 stages though.

In N Out fries need to be eaten fresh at the restaurant. The problem is people take it home or eat after it's been sitting a paper bag which steams and causes it to lose its crisp.

[@Michael_Brock]

Triple cooked fries can be largely premade, IE freeze them after first cooler fry then I bag and box them (Tupperware etc) when cooled. Then freeze and final fry upto 3 months later. Double wrap to avoid freezer burn. Methods elsewhere suggest freezing between parboiling for half an hour or longer to remove moisture. Obviously after half hour to cool to room temperature then low fry, cool freeze for half hour then hot fry. My way I have fries or wedges or crispy potato skins ready to go after heating oil for final fry, so 5 minutes for each batch plus the time to heat (or reheat) oil.

It's not just how they fry, but In n Out exclusively uses a unique potato variety we don't get at stores. It's very low sugar and low moisture. Consequently, it's also very low on flavor and texture. But they do ship well, and they also fry very quickly. It's the only way a fast food chain can cook fast from raw to service under the same roof. Say what you want, but they sell a ton of these fries.

[@xmayhem2299]

That part with the pillow dude lol. I died laughing I don't know why that was so funny

[@joeblack4436]

Nice. Though for me... Skinny chips. Drizzle olive oil. Some salt. Toss. Then bake in convection oven at 250C (480F) for 25minutes. Turn off oven and let it cool in there for 10 or so minutes to get an extra crisp. Usually enough time for the following. Handy trick: To speed up the caramelization of onion's start with it barely covered in water, a dollop of butter (not clarified) in instead of oil and a pinch of baking soda. Step one is to evaporate water over high heat which doesn't take long. Adding the milk protein and lactose (reducing sugar) from butter and the baking soda (to increase PH) does a lot to speed up the Maillard reaction. The short but intense boil from the water compromises the onions to release more of their fructose (reducing sugar) to participate in the Maillard reaction with the milk proteins and lactose in the increased PH environment. Some of the colour comes from the butter in the end, but it is tasty.
