My homemade fries turn out perfect every time and all you have to do is soak them in water for 15 minutes first then cook them once in oil take them out Let Them Sit 3 minutes then cook them again and they come out perfect every single time better than any restaurant fries I have ever had in my entire life. And way better than this guys fries. Cooking the fries in the boiling water is a completely unnecessary step that does literally nothing for you.

Belgian fries use a loose cooking flowery potato, they are cut uniform thickness (13mm x 13 mm square), and are not washed or boiled in water but poached in ox white (filtered beef fat) for 6 min at 140°C. Then taken out of the fat and shaken to remove the fat before being allowed to cool to room temperature. Then broiled (160-180°C) in lard or ox white 'till gold coloured and crispy.

My, (Scottish), Dad makes chips, (French fries in the U.S.), on the last Sunday of every month, he’s done this for decades, now I know why our extended family has always come for lunch, on that day too. After seeing this vid, I asked my Dad about his Chip process, he said it’s very close to what the vid shows. He added that he loads raw, cut potatoes into a strainer basket, it’s near the same size of his pot. Once boiled he quickly submerges the basket into an ice water bath. He stated the potatoes don’t fall apart, more than he wants them too. BTW, we’ve never seen Agria or even Maris Piper species for sale in the U.S., so we typically use Russet Burbanks for frying. My Dad took over all the food shopping and cooking duties when he retired, none of us 6 kids, nor our mom were allowed in his domain, the kitchen, but now Dad has some shoulder arthritis, we are all gladly helping him and learning a lot. So, thank you for the eye opening info., I had no idea how time consuming properly making Chips are, but all cooking is and a lot of work, but all us kids have come to love and learn about cooking, as a family unit! 💞

@jonrendАй бұрын
This always worked for me. Producing very crispy fries. Adding vinegar while blanching potatoes for fries serves two purposes: Maintains Potato Structure: Vinegar lowers the pH of the water, which helps the pectin in the potato's cell walls stay intact. This prevents the potatoes from becoming too soft or mushy during boiling, making them hold their shape better when fried. Enhances Crispiness: Keeping the potatoes firm after blanching helps achieve a crispier exterior when frying, as the structure supports better surface browning. Typically, a small amount (e.g., 1-2 tablespoons of vinegar per liter of water) is enough to achieve these effects.

Ok need to try that too. I've added baking soda to the water, so that the surface of the potato becomes slightly mushy and that becomes extra crispy when fried. Baking soda raises the ph. But I boil them for very short period. 3-5 minutes only. It is kind of a fast and easy way to get the starks out. Slice them and briefly boil in water with soda. Dry up and fry. I'm no chef. lol

Start the chips in cold oil keep and keep stirring them gently until they become soft, then stop! You must stop unless you want to end up with one big chunk of starch. But keep checking them as they fry, as soon as they are solid again, start gently stirring them again. Results in something VERY similar to triple cook chips. But is much simpler to do.

It's 1972, I'm 12 years old, and I hear a crackling sound coming from the chip pan. I lift the lid and see that the condensation is forming on the lid and dropping into the fat making it crackle. I lift the basket and rest the chips on the side of the pan, and wait for the fat to get hot again. I put the chips back in, and outcome lovely dark brown chips, but the potato is still firm (not the mashed potato they serving these horrible chips) and delicious. In other words, I was double frying chips in 1972 at 12 bloody years of age. :D :D :D If like me you don't like mashed potato chips, try this method. Honestly the best chips I've ever eaten. In no time at all you can get a skin on the chips, like you do on a roast potato.

@JoseGomez-vr6mjАй бұрын
Great recipe. Exactly how I make them. From experience: I would recommend parboiling for less time. All that yellow boiling water is fresh potato flavor lost. The potatoes will finish cooking in the final step. For those chip size: 8 min parboil, gentle simmer. Then, confit low for 4 min in beef fat. Then, either deep fry in beef fat till crispy. Or, even better, especially for the home cook: roast at 220c for 15min on a thin steel baking tray. Same Result. This low heat method allows to use your beef fat for longer without spoiling. The true high heat and crisp then happens in the oven. The parboiling makes the potato more dense, so it does not absorb grease that easily, and it enables the starch to effectively become more crispier. The low fry/confit makes the outside starch absorb the fat which then allows for even heating during the second cook. The hot fry or high heat roast ensures maximum crispiness and finishes the cooking of the fry. The results are a crispy, soft inside, full of potato flavour bowl of fries. Beef fat elevates the fry by not adding that "fried" flavour usual seed oils add. Cleaner taste.
@sarge7247Ай бұрын
For the second stage, when you say confit low, does that mean cooking them in beef fat at around 85 degrees celsius(usual confit temp). That is a lot lower than the temperature Will and Heston cooks them at which is 140 degrees celsius. I agree that seed oils should never be used as they are toxic. Natural animal fats such as beef and duck fat are healthier and tastier.

Wasn’t the vegans. It was the anti-saturated fat movement of the 90s

or they realised that vegetable oil is cheaper.

Bro eat McDonald's fries 😂 brother they contain 11 ingredients

The corporate board of a globe striding company with thousands of restaurants in dozens of countries stopped using expensive tallow for cheap vegetable oil.. not because they make every decision to seek profit.. but because "Vegans" got it

@@NarcOfTheCovenant’the anti-saturated fat movement of the 90s’ meaning the British Dietetic Association, American Heart Association, the World Heart Federation, the British National Health Service, the National Heart Foundation of Australia? Not to worry though the pro-saturated fat movement of the 2020s (industrial beef farms in the USA) are fighting back against the science 💪🏼

I am in the USA and use beef lard (tallow) for much of my frying. I rarely discard pork or beef fat

Did I miss anything? Is there anything new about this method that we haven't heard 100 times before?
@mr.gentlemansir3151Ай бұрын
If this were the first time you were exposed to this method then it would be new. It's new for some.
@yacineyaz5678Ай бұрын
Definitely new for me. And I guess, it also is for thousands of other people from all around the world. I'm very grateful to find this quality content.
@mosesjurassic3686Ай бұрын
@@yacineyaz5678 That's perfectly fine. However, the PROs could be a bit more humble, since this is a method that is pretty much universally accepted. It would me much more useful, if they would explain how to make homemade tallow. This is not really common knowledge.

I used to work for a wing restaurant. We would call it the same thing when we would par cook some wings before a busy service. One of us would say, “Blanch a box of wings!” Meaning we’d cook them for just long enough, to where when someone ordered a batch of wings, we only had to cook em the rest of the way for about 5-10 minutes, instead of 15-30 minutes.

We call it blanching here in the States as well... although I was French/Swiss trained so maybe it did come from classical training? Love your videos and the way you really explain your processes. Cheers from Texas yall!

Hi, in french we also use "blanchir" for a first cooking in oil like we would say for water.

These are amazing fries (chips) and I wish the English and Irish pubs here in the US did this.

I am willing to be experimented on and eat your chips every day of my life if you make them that beautifully for me.

Macaxeira (manioc/cassava/yuca) gets really insanely craggly when fried and looks a lot like these. You should try them!

I make my chips like this, but only in tallow. Also I add a teaspoon of bicarb to the water for an even crispier outside. I don't know if I can get these Agria potatoes, but I can get Maris Piper so I use those.
