Seriously, I have had more luck when I microwaved the fries first, then cooled them down to room temp, and then frying. I think I will wash them until the water is clean though, that is something I wasn’t doing.
I’ve given up. Home made French fries aren’t worth it. The frozen ones you buy just come out better and not worth all the time and effort. Just my $0.02. I forget the brand name that others have posted but they have it at Smart N Final. Good product but need to buy a lot of volume.
Lamb Weston. Haven’t tried the fries yet but on that recommendation we got the hashbrowns for a camping trip and they worked well.
I can’t say for sure what fries they use at Amboy but 1) we really liked them when we went a few weeks ago and 2) someone was coming in a side door by the entrance with Big C Premium Select fries and they seem to be available at Restaurant Depot and elsewhere.
Personally i think it’s less the actual frozen fries and more that his process is tighter than most. I get the impression that he is frying in small quantities to keep them fresh and his oil always seems super clean
Sorry cant help with fries but recently tried the TikTok 15 hr potato pavé and it’s well worth it! Aside from the time, super easy. Made with duck fat topped with crème fraiche and ikura
That is an Oklahoma onion burger in the foreground. My wife recently went to Tulsa on business and couldn’t find an Oklahoma onion burger. Lots of boutique burgers, and fake meat burgers, but no onion burgers. Like Cincinnati chili without noodles, or Texas chili with beans. The homogenization of American cuisine is depressing.
The bun is home baked.
The Ad Hoc cookbook has an amazing recipe for potato pave, basically tastes like a French fry and au gratin potato. Yours looks crispy AF, did you pan fry on all sides after they cooked?
I pricked whole potatoes with a fork, then microwaved them until done.
Then I let them cool down, refrigerated them overnight, then sliced them into fries.
Let the oil get super hot, then dumped them all in there and did not touch them for 6 to 7 minutes. They started to brown And then I kind of started taking some of the super brown ones out. After that they were all real brown so I took them out.
