Ah Chef Bill, I did not know about blanching. I will try that. I'm not a frequent potato fryer, but when I do, I use just lemon juice to keep them from oxidizing, tumble them in a little potato starch for an extra crisp exterior, and I use rice bran oil because of the high smoke point and lightness. I guess I would do that before blanching...otherwise I would probably break the fries.

[@ChefBill]

Great info! The white vinegar and / or lemon juice will help oxidation. Not sure what the flavor difference might be. Yea, nice thought on the potato starch. Then we get into the whole prepping/battering of fries.

So that is how french fries where invented!

Ok, this story is not totally historically accurate ... :) Most sources say Belgium was the home of 'frieten'. My version was kind of a re-imagining.

Please start a kids' show :)

[@ChefBill]

Yes, that would be fun! But you can not have (implied) drinking and smoking on a kids show.

[@careymjones]

@@ChefBill I was thinking of different content, kid friendly of course. Love seeing you and your lady either way :)

[@ChefBill]
