MY NEW FAVORITE WAY TO MAKE FRENCH FRIES (AND THE SPECIAL DIP WE DO IN CANADA) | SAM THE COOKING GUY

[@Rob-BC]

Fries, and gravy were a teenage staple in northern Manitoba in the '70's. Oh, man!

[@mystycalangel70]

Here in Missouri...but my mom was from Ohio/PA

[@InspireAndSimplify]

Sam, your tomato soup and grilled cheese video inspired us to make it. Afterwards, we were able to turn the leftovers into the best chili we’ve ever had. Thanks for your “Meals with intentional leftovers”. You’re the best!

[@Lolololz772]

I made that yesterday! It was so delicious.

[@seanwilks7712]

We did the tomato soup and grilled cheese too...it was FUCKING amazing. Sorry for my French but it’s the only way to describe them.

[@seanwilks7712]

@@Lolololz772 the only thing I would change is the amount of apple cider vinegar, it overpowered the rest of the jam.

[@rayamos1398]

Hey Sam, thanks for pointing out that the brown holes in the potatoes are fine! I grow my own potatoes and have had a load of them develop "hollow heart" this year due to inconsistent watering, and it's really refreshing to see someone actually show it - and actually state that it doesn't matter - in a video. :)

[@goldilox369]

I've always wondered what that was. I got a bag of potatoes from the store that was like that. I threw them out thinking it was blight. Totally in the middle, definitely freaked me out.

[@rayamos1398]

@Shaun Dance - In my case the brown holes were there as they came out of the ground. At first I was worried it was blight, then did some goggling. This is the first year I've grown potatoes in buckets and I am pretty sure I over watered then under watered, which caused it to happen in potatoes from a number of buckets. I suspect they won't store as well (they're all in sacks, in my garage) but it's all a learning experience. I was just pleasantly surprised to see someone actually address it in a video, as most people would probably think the potato was no good.

[@stephengough8546]

I'm sure as hell not okay with it, I cut out every single hint of brown from my potatoes, all of it, skins included.

[@scottboettcher1344]

I dunno, guys. I grew up on a potato farm and any spud out of the ground that had a hole in it, led to a tunnel that led to a (what we called) cut-worms, think they were larvae for some type of moth. Fortunately I forage at a supermarket now, in my old age.

[@chairmanhiro7401]

This is an excellent method to fixing up the issues with sweet potato fries, which are much more waxy and less starchy than regular fries, so they tend to get soggy when fried the same way. They will still be soft in the middle, but the batter crisps them up quite a bit. Just use 1/2 c of cornstarch and 1/2 c of flour, then mix in your 1c of water and go from there. Make sure you soak them in water for at least a few hours beforehand, too. 375F for about 7-8 minutes.

Grew up in Rochester, NY, and there are plenty of restaurants that serve fries (crinkle cut) with gravy. I thought this was a perfectly normal fry condiment until moving to Arizona. Fries with gravy are the best!

Sam, a little tip on beef gravy is to add Kitchen Bouquet. When l was growing up, all the old farmer/rancher wives used it. I still buy and use it to this day. Great flavor enhancer.

[@88KeysIdaho]

That's what my mom used, too. I thought the same thing :-)

[@LiqdPT]

I have no idea what that is. Is it a spice mix?

[@88KeysIdaho]

@@LiqdPT It's a liquid flavoring agent someone made up, in the same vein as Soy Sauce, Worchestershire Sauce, etc.

I am British and yet you've pretty much just created the most British inspired dish. Battered chips/fries sound like something a fish and chip shop should have been making all along!

Thank you for making a quick gravy from broth. I use to do this in a pinch and my ex husband would get mad at me and call me crazy and stupid, so I stopped doing it along with many other things (note the ex husband part, but still some what ruined my confidence). It's good to know I wasn't that crazy and stupid after all.

[@estherc.536]

I'm betting most everything you did, especially things you've tried for the first time, was stupid. He's a narcissist and his main objective was to make you lose confidence in yourself. I've been there, done that, with my coward, ex-narc-hole of 25 years, but out and on my own for the past 5 months. You're free too, isn't it wonderful !?!

[@chellee]

@@estherc.536 oh yes, it got to the point where according to him I didn't even know how to sweep a floor the "correct" way. It is wonderful being away from him and happily re-married to a wonderful man now. Unfortunately still have moments I question myself, amazing the impact one person can have on another person.

[@estherc.536]

@@chellee I had to respond because I lmao at your "floor sweeping" remark, my ex said the same thing about my sweeping. And he'd misplace things (utensils, cheese shredder, scissors, ect.) that I would use daily while doing chores, then tell me that I misplaced it because I used it last. Then he would "find" it and wait for his reward of praise and thank you's. They're not happy until you lose all self confidence, and question every decision you make. But, over time we heal and get stronger every day. Being free from their poison is better than having Christmas every day, Congrats to you for moving on and finding real love. I'm not looking for that yet, and probably never will. For now, I'm happy being alone and doing what I want, when I want. Godspeed.

[@SilasGrieves]

@@estherc.536 I know the both of you don’t need to hear it from me but I wanted to drop a kind comment of congratulations to the both of you. Not a lot of people have the self awareness and strength to pull themselves out of abusive but you both did it and that’s inspiring. You also don’t need to hear this from me, a complete stranger, but, please don’t ever give back into that doubt because of their nonsense. It’s ok to make mistakes. Those are just opportunities to learn a cool, new way to try something. Especially when you’re trying something new for the first time. Both your ex’s should have stopped criticizing you, man’ed up and actually helped you with things around the house instead of just pointlessly criticizing. I’m a doctor and I’m not above sweeping or cooking or any household chores. They’ve got to be done, it doesn’t matter who. It’s just common sense, labor goes by quicker with more hands, eyes, and minds. Rewatching Mr. Rogers episodes helped and still helps me get over the abuse of my previous relationship. When I was down, Mr. Rogers told me to look for the helpers. I’m not silly enough to say I was perfect during my last relationship. I’m not faultless. I have struggled with anger all my life and I tend to lose my temper over serious things. But I try everyday to be a better man. I’m trying to replace my anger with passion and openness. My ex was narcissistic too, she knew I was struggling with anger and would say and do awful things to purposely get under my skin, purposely mentally and physically provoke me, just so she could play the victim, take all of my frustrated words, and make me feel like a horrible, heartless monster and then she’d guilt me into serving her every whim as “penance.” Never doubt yourselves. You are talented, wonderful individuals. You are worthy and you are enough. And just like Mr. Rogers used to say, I like you just the way you are. I have a wonderful fiancé who found me at my lowest and she showed me so much compassion, love, and understanding. She’s been such a gift, supporting me and helping me overcome my temper one day at a time. She’s helped me undo so much self-hatred and she’s re-taught me that I’m so much more than a monster and that I am human. Congratulations on finding your tag team partner, Chelle. And Esther, I found in my experience, love finds you when stop looking for it. And it finds you when you least expect it. Please enjoy your time with yourself and I hope you are able to spend your days fruitfully, vibrantly, and self-lovingly. Who knows, maybe your tag team partner is just around the corner.

[@estherc.536]

@@SilasGrieves Thank you Sean for your kind, thoughtful words. Happy to hear you've moved on from an abusive narcissist and found real love. Your healing will take time, and having an empathic, caring woman to guide you will hasten your recovery tenfold. Btw, having the "monster" in you is a part of being a man, and women generally like the monster quality. Knowing when to unleash the monster while having control of it... is the key. Godspeed.

Fry the fries in beef tallow for the extra beefy flavor. Of course the beef gravy is a fantastic idea. Although for a go-to dip for fries? Regular tartar sauce or ranch dressing is good, some sort of garlic butter for tots if they're very crisp. A melty cheese sauce with bacon crumbles mixed in.

They are known as "Orange Chips", due to the Orange batter they're dipped in before frying, and originate from WWII when civilians tried to find a way to break up their regular, monotonous ration food. Super cool you made them! im not sure if it's common US knowledge that they exist in England as a regional dish so now you know:)

Down south we have Beer battered fries in frozen bags from the Supermarket, I like to make them from Sweet potatoes probably the only way to make Sweet potato fries or Chips as we call them leave the skins on tastes better

[@redriverraider]

Thank goodness I just had my Colonoscopy! Polyps free! Bring on the fried food! 👋🍟

[@jonlavigne3270]

What about two-step fries? Put the plain fries in the oil until they're no quite ready. Take them out and drain. Then, dip them in the batter and fry again. Double crunch?

[@stephengough8546]

Thank God! Someone who actually peels their potatoes before making fries! I detest potato skins, especially on my fries but it seems that most restaurants are too cheap to buy a potato peeling machine and just use the worn out "all of the goodness is in the skin" lie. Nope, pure laziness. There is no "goodness" left in a fried potato skin.

Okay, a fly fishing reference in my fav cooking channel. Sweet.

Battered fries are amazing! Rally's has the best! Lol

[@brandihobson5257]

Never thought about making batter fries, but Sam makes everything look so damn good!!!💯🤞🏾❤️🔥

[@juansantamaria1982g]

Thank you Sam, only by seeing your video alone my bean soup tasted better.

[@leedoss6905]

Had battered fries before. Great with mayonnaise and yellow mustard mixed.

[@aarong9431]

I defo love these! But I would have defo did the batter a little thicker so the first fries he ate would always be that size heaven

[@88KeysIdaho]

I don't think it's available in most of the US, but in Utah and the Pacific Northwest, Lot of people swear by "Fry Sauce" which is usually just a combination of Mayo and Ketchup. I believe Heinz even bottles it now.

Hey Sam, Max also, I think I recall a video you did back in 2014 (I can't remember the video topic but it was after an award/ceremony you received and you needed a stiff drink). I remember you and Max having a conversation about a "new' concept about having fresh food delivered to your doorstep, Hellofresh. I recall you saying that was a crazy idea and it would never get off the ground. Fast forward 7 years and now they sponsored one of your videos. Anyways keep up the great videos and for making America cook again.

[@Just_Pele]

Just like "curly fries" from Arby's, but with thicker fries.

[@dylantrinder1571]

Battered chips are extremely popular in the West Midlands, UK. They are known as ‘Orange Chips’.

[@WineWhiskeyNH]

You must fry the potato skin strips!! Super yummy!

[@ianmckenzie5303]

White Spot fries with a side of their Mayo...the Best!

[@dickyjames8264]

I love the “no fried eggs here” drop. I bet hardly anyone picked up on that one! Nice work! 😂

[@tq2655]

Sam and boys, I saw something the other day and i thought" Sam would excel that dish 1000%" it was called a Ramelette. Now I cant find the damn thing, basically ramen noodles in an omelette but so much more. Hope you can find it and make the Sam Ramelette

[@vickiibendit943]

I love tartar sauce on fries.

[@ArjanStotheH]

I'm Dutch and yes, we do like mayo. I like my fries with mayo, peanut ( sate ) sauce and onions, its delicious .

[@martijnbuunk]

Gewoon een ouderwetse patat oorlog 👍😁

[@thepot462]

Beef gravy on fresh cut fries is REALLY big here in central PA as well

[@eddyk3]

I dunno if they still make them, but in the UK I loved McCain Beer Battered fries. Perfect with a big juicy steak.

[@stevemunson7431]

YES GRAVY FRIES!!! In my part of Southwest Montana they were a huge favorite when I was growing up in the 60's and 70's. Most of the resturants and drive-in's ( does this date me?) served them as a side or by themselves. Now these crispy fries will be a addition to my home cooking arsenal of STCG recipes!!

[@AngryBeerrin]

You should do this along with deep fried cheese curds

[@dominiccarmon5886]

Can you do a Turkey in the Pit Barrel Cooker? The ribs were insane!

[@msimcox2]

If as your shirt says “If fat means flavor” then I imagine that you could also make a roux instead of the cornstarch/water mixture, and it would be better/more rich in flavor

[@Swedish_Pagan78]

Sam makes a roux very often and the one time he doesn't someone complains. Can't win.

[@Just_Pele]

and use beef tallow to fry them. I think you'd still need cornstarch to make the batter stick through the cooking process and to make them crunchy.

[@msimcox2]

@@Swedish_Pagan78 I complained?
