Air fryer and frozen french fries are a severely underrated combination in the KZbin food space. It's pretty much the only way I have been making french fries the last few years. Mainly because it's so easy, but good to know that it has your stamp of approval!

[@ElJosher]

Indeed

[@XeLYoutube]

maybe its better people dont consume thats on the potato tho, maybe better not intoxicate population with the crust of oils, and air fries.. potato than frozen potato burnt in oils

[@pamelaparsons9046]

I agree. In the air fryer is the way to go.

[@WheeledHamster]

Air fryer? Why are you so weak?

[@coreymulvaney3557]

The only way to make fries now

[@BLR1GBattlemaster]

I've used both Oreida and Lamb Weston, and really, they're both great. But, what you really want is the style of fries: crispy / restaurant style. It's out of this world crispy because they use one ingredient: rice flour. They coat the fries in it before frying, and it just makes them so crispy, you can't go back.

[@johncra8982]

Imagine working at a grocery store and seeing a guy pull up to the checkout with a bag of every single french fry brand you have in stock 😅

[@farmageddon]

[@farmageddon]

Thanks, brother! Great to see you!

[@mojojojotokyo]

The funny thing is that fries aren't commonly eaten like this in Japan. You usually see these tricked out "super Japanized" preparations at overseas izakayas obviously because they're trying to stand out, but the local ones here usually just serve normal fries. The common flavors you'd find would be nori-shio (powdered seaweed and salt), consomme soup powder, maaaybe mentaiko butter.

[@ryanj610]

The videos keep getting better. I love the "different methods", lets us see what works, and scalability for our cooking level/ingredients.

[@SergeyKamenezki]

[@farmageddon]

Thank you so much, Sergey! You are always so generous and it's really nice to see you again! I hope you have a wonderful day!

[@jbomb7867]

There's a local restaurant that prides themselves in their fresh cut fries and have multiple options for potato varieties and cuts. Sometimes I ask what variety is frying up best that day because they can differ a lot from batch to batch.

[@resilient1234]

great video! It's been a while since i've finished a youtube video haha. thoroughly researched, excellent production without the extra dramatized nonsense. thank you!! looking forward to more content!

[@farmageddon]

Thank you! I really appreciate your kind words! I should have another video out in about a week!

[@jc13781]

Using furikake as seasoning on fries is also amazing. Never had it w the curry but I have often made fries w furikake and nori and dipped in Japanese mayo and ketchup w a dash of soy sauce and pinch of MSG 🎉

[@KingPinguofDingu]

I was thinkin just this, furikake will make a great seasoning to the fries.

[@Talmorne]

oooo I need to try this

[@telebubba5527]

I got me some wasabi furikake. It's the best!

[@araxkermani6871]

Great content as always and you deserve a LOT more subscribers! I know this is a pretty straight-forward recipe, but would you be willing to drop it into a Google Docs document for me? I live in a rural area (also Texas) so, if you're willing to create a doc, one of the most helpful notations for me is what ingredients are optional/substitutable.

[@farmageddon]

Thank you so much, Arax! It's great to see you again! I've written you up a google doc. I'm going to respond to this message with the link. If it doesn't show up - sometimes KZbin blocks links, then go to my 'about' page and e-mail me and I'll email it to you! Thanks again!

[@AtomicSniper22]

A great method i found to cook the fries is to coat them in a neutral oil before baking, it makes them much more crispy. I usually just add a small amount of oil and the fries in a bowl and toss them to get the fries covered

Thanks for the video. I will try it out sometime in the middle of the week. I agree with you about the frozen fries it's such easy to use them instead of possibly soggy fries from regular homemade potatoes. Also having your place smelling like fried oil is not good that's why I cook stuff like that outside.

I've just discovered your channel. The only thing I don't like is that I wasn't subscribed from the start. I am a food nerd deluxe, and your format is just right for me. It's easy, well-explained, but not sloppy or half-assed. I was skeptical against air fryers at first, only turning to deep-frying for the best fries. But then I got a super deal on an air fryer for about 10 bucks, and now I think they make the absolute best fries if you use the right kind. The only thing that's a downer with air vs. deep-fried is the time. Thanks for the upload.

I put vinegar in the bag of frozen fries as soon as I get back from the grocery store. If you add it after cooking it could make them mushy. Then after baking in the oven, I add salt and pepper, and garlic and onion powder. Even store bought frozen fries taste fantastic!

[@Furluge]

If you want frozen fries and you can get yourself into a restaurant supply store like Restaurant Depot and you have a big enough freezer you can get frozen fries that are excellent and about as cheap as unprocessed potatoes. Also, personally I've come to prefer frying once I got T-Fal's fryer where you just turn a knob and it filters the oil into a storage box.

[@chinchillatwitch7234]

So here in the Netherlands, we love our fries, and we even have this thing called a snackbar, which are bars not for drinks but snacks, aka mostly fries. Everyone uses frozen fries. Deepfry'ing is the best, but after that the airfryer (funny that you use a dutch brand!), then the oven. Personal deepfryers are pretty inexpensive here and also safe, so we tend to go for that, but all options can work. We also got "oven" fries, which are deepfrozen fries, that are especially made for going into the oven instead of the deepfryer. We also have our own curry, which looks allot like the japanese one you just made. Loved the video, i am a fan of loaded fries, we even got our own loaded fries here which is called "barberstation", but in dutch, since it was invented at a barberstation. You should try it out, cause its our certified hood classic!
