Boil First

Slice your potatoes into french fries and boil them until potatoes on the stove for 5-10 minutes in hot water before you roast them. This will help move along the cooking process and make them extra crispy.

Grease the Cookie Sheet

Prepare for extra grease! Add about a cup of cooking oil such as avocado or olive oil to your cookie sheet and put in the oven on its own for a few minutes to sizzle up. Then once its sizzling throw your potatoes in it and coat with the hot oil and various spices. Continue the cooking process for another 20-35 minutes.

Roast on Top Oven Tray

For the last ten minutes of the cooking process, put your potatoes on the top rack of the oven to get extra crispy on top without burning. This step is crucial, and you must watch the potatoes and baste every few minutes so they cook evenly and do not burn! Make sure to check the potatoes frequently until they have the crispiness you desire! Take them out of the oven, let them cool, and garnish with some coarse salt and enjoy!

]]> French fries are a great addition to almost any meal, but when it comes to delivery fries, they usually arrive cold and limp. Fries are supposed to be crispy and hot! Sure, you can still eat them like this, but they’re not nearly as tasty. With this hack, you can have leftover or delivery fries that taste like they came straight out of the fryer!

Instead of reheating them in the oven and waiting for the oven to heat up and the fries to get crispy, use a pan to reheat them. It takes less time and it’s much more efficient. It takes just minutes and your fries will be hot and crispy without being dry and burnt.

When reheating them in the pan, there’s no need to add oil. You’re not refrying the fries, you’re just reheating them. Besides, they already have tons of oil on them. Just toss the fries every 30 seconds or so to keep them moving. You’ll know they’re done when they start clanking around the pan. This happens because the moisture on the surface dries up.

Say goodbye to soggy, room-temperature fries and hello to crispy ones that taste like they’ve just been fried!

]]> We have something to admit we could eat French fries every single day. There’s nothing quite like biting into a fry that is crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, with just the right amount of salt. If you’re like us, you’ll never make fries any other way than this. 

Step #1

For good fries, you need good potatoes. Russet or Idaho potatoes are the best to use—just ask McDonald’s. Peel the potatoes and cut them into slices that are around ¼-inch thick. 

Step #2

Get a bowl of ice-cold water (filled with ice cubes) and dunk in your potato slices.

Step #3

Once they’ve been in the ice bath, it’s time to transfer the potatoes to the hot tub. Pour white vinegar and salt into some boiling water and add the potatoes. Leave them for just a couple of minutes to soften. 

Step #4

Once slightly soft (we don’t want them falling apart), remove the slices from the water and pat them dry. Then, coat them in potato starch as this will make them extra crispy!

Step #5

Make sure your oil is at 350°F and drop in the potatoes. Allow them to go golden and pour salt over the fries immediately after removing them from the oil. If you want to add more flavor, throw in minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, and fresh coriander.

]]> We love when fast-food chains introduce special, limited-edition items. But we love it even more when they make them permanent. 

Fries are a bit of a breakaway from Taco Bell’s regular offering of tacos and burritos, but the Mexican-inspired chain introduced nacho fries in 2018. Since then, the heavily spiced potato sticks with a cheesy dipping sauce have popped up periodically, always for a limited time. 

That could be about to change though.

The franchise recently added its Mexican pizza to its permanent menu, and nacho fries could be the next item to receive the honor. It comes as Taco Bell aims to compete with other chains, like McDonald’s, who are extremely popular for their fries. 

“People that go to lunch want to have French fries. We know that,” stated Taco Bell CEO, Mark King. “We’re looking at and testing bringing fries permanently on to the menu, which would increase our lunch business dramatically. If you were to look at how we compete against McDonald’s in dinner and late night, we’re absolutely even. When you look at breakfast and lunch, we’re significantly behind. There’s a big opportunity just in those two dayparts to increase our business significantly over the coming years.”

We’re crossing our fingers that these fries stick around!

]]> French fries are one of the most popular fast foods on the market and it doesn’t hurt that it’s pretty easy to make them. If you’re still a newbie and feel like your fries are missing a little something to be perfectly crispy and delicious, here are five mistakes you might be making without even knowing it.

Right Potatoes

Unless you’re using frozen French fries, the potatoes you choose make all the difference. You should go for a potato type that doesn’t contain too much starch, and yellow-fleshed potatoes are usually the best choice.

Right Cut

After choosing potatoes, it’s important to cut them right. By making them similar in size, you’re making sure they’ll cook evenly and you should stick to half a centimeter per fry.

Soaking Potatoes

It’s crucial to let your potatoes soak in water for at least half an hour before you fry them because this allows them to lose some of the starch.

Busy Pan

You might be tempted to put all your fries in a pan and call it a day, but you shouldn’t do it if there’s not enough room. Fries need some space to cook evenly and they shouldn’t overlap.

Just Add Salt

Your French fries will be bland and boring without seasoning, and it’s usually best to salt them a few minutes after frying them and giving them some time to cool down.

]]> Not everybody is a fan of McDonald’s menu, but it’s really difficult to find someone who doesn’t love their french fries! To this day, they offer the best combination of crispiness and flavor on the market. Is there a way to recreate them at home? According to Popsugar, there is.

“We decided to take a deep dive into what it takes to create these golden, salty, downright potato-y fries,” the outlet writes. “Thanks to intel from MythBusters’ Grant Imahara, we were able to dig into the process and figure out how to engineer the best french fry we could. Are you brave enough to try this at home? Watch our video to find out how to recreate the magic!”

The recipe uses Idaho russet potatoes, so we recommend you find them for the best result. The original McDonald’s fries require over 14 different ingredients, but this recipe is less complicated. Soaking the fries in the sugar water solution before cooking them sounds surprising, but it adds a lot of flavor. You may also wonder if it’s really necessary to remove the fries from the fryer when they’re half-done, but this is also necessary if you want to replicate the original taste and texture.

Will you try making you own fries or do you prefer grabbing some in McDonald’s instead?

]]> French fries are delicious, but only for a short time. As soon as they get cold, their flavor completely changes and they’re not nearly as appealing anymore. If you’ve ever tried reheating them, you know that it doesn’t do much. There is, however, one way to reheat cold french fries that will give you a decent result.

Reheating the fries in the oven will leave you with carboard-tasting old fries that can’t fool anyone. If you attempt to refry them, you will only add more oil to a caloric meal and all that for a mediocre taste. But if you have a waffle maker, you may be able to do something about them.

Reheating the fries in the waffle maker is easy and straightforward. Although they won’t taste like a fresh batch, this is a quick and convenient way to use up leftover fries for a quick after-work dinner.

Turn the waffle maker on and adjust the heat setting to the highest. Once it’s hot, place the fries in the center and close the lid. The fries will get golden brown, which is how you know they are done. Serve warm.

The guy orders his food — a classic burger and fries — only for his girlfriend to reach across the table and begin eating his precious golden julienne potatoes.

Sound familiar?

If it does, a restaurant in Arkansas now has your back.

Mama D’s Diner in Little Rock has included an item on its menu entitled “My Girlfriend is Not Hungry”.

For an extra $4.25 you can upgrade whatever you’ve ordered by adding extra fries, wings, or cheese sticks for your spouse.

]]> French fries are delicious, but only for a short time. As soon as they get cold, their flavor completely changes and they’re not nearly as appealing anymore. If you’ve ever tried reheating them, you know that it doesn’t do much. There is, however, one way to reheat cold french fries that will give you a decent result.

Reheating the fries in the oven will leave you with carboard-tasting old fries that can’t fool anyone. If you attempt to refry them, you will only add more oil to a caloric meal and all that for a mediocre taste. But if you have a waffle maker, you may be able to do something about them.

Reheating the fries in the waffle maker is easy and straightforward. Although they won’t taste like a fresh batch, this is a quick and convenient way to use up leftover fries for a quick after-work dinner.

Initially, they didn't taste very spicy, but the spice sure did hit me once I got half way through 🥵. Be warned though, they were pretty messy. 📍Boba Fries 81-21 Broadway, Elmhurst, NY (Since the geotag isn't working) . . . . . #cajunfries #frenchfries #dailyfries #spicyfries #bobafriesnyc #itsoctober3rd #october3rd #meangirls #reginageorge #eeeeeats #forkyeah #eqdailypic #buzzfeast #feastagram #foodbeast #nycrestaurants #nycdining #foodblogging #nytcooking #devourpower #topfoodnews #nycfoodies #eatingfortheinsta #eatupnyc #foodgasm #foodilysm

Turn the waffle maker on and adjust the heat setting to the highest. Once it’s hot, place the fries in the center and close the lid. The fries will get golden brown, which is how you know they are done. Serve warm.

]]> Chrissy Teigen just got a new gig! The successful model and cookbook author will produce a documentary about French fries called Fries! The Movie, in which we will get answers to eternal questions like why do virtually all the people in the world love French fries. The details about the film are still unknown and we hope to learn more about it in the near future. We don’t even have a premiere date right now, but we do know some things.

Among the people who will appear in the film are Teigen herself, best-selling author Malcolm Gladwell, chef Eric Ripert, and Museum of Food and Drink founder and president Dave Arnold. The documentary will follow chefs, farmers, scientists, and celebrities who will slowly unveil the story behind famous French fries.

“I always knew my love of fries and years of experience in the field were meant to serve a higher purpose. Thrilled to work alongside this incredible team and share our findings,” Teigen said in a statement, as Variety reports.

]]> Amsterdam is undoubtedly a city that is chock-full of sights and sounds. While you might find yourself marveling at the city’s canals or shocked at what you’ll see in the Red Light District, you can’t forget to take time to eat.

Here are some street foods that any visitor to Amsterdam must try.

Raw Herring

That’s right: raw herring is one of the most popular street foods in the city! If you’re brave enough to try it, you’ll end up loving the herring, which is served with diced, raw onions and pickles. It’s surprisingly delicious!

Bitterballen

Deep-fried meatballs?! In Amsterdam, you can go to a food stand and order “bitterballen,” and you’ll get just that. They’re greasy, fatty, and perfect if you’re out on the town having drinks.

French Fries

French fries are one of the most popular things you’ll see being eaten on the streets of Amsterdam. People walk around with cones of thick-cut fries topped with mayonnaise, a Dutch delicacy that is worth a try.

]]> Picture the scene.

A couple goes out to a restaurant, sit down, receive menus, and decide what to order. They debate about the best option — well, the guy does; the girl says she is not hungry.

The guy orders his food — a classic burger and fries — only for his girlfriend to reach across the table and begin eating his precious golden julienne potatoes.

Sound familiar?

If it does, a restaurant in Arkansas now has your back.

Mama D’s Diner in Little Rock has included an item on its menu entitled “My Girlfriend is Not Hungry”.

For an extra $4.25 you can upgrade whatever you’ve ordered by adding extra fries, wings, or cheese sticks for your spouse.

Other restaurants which offer similar options are Tangled Hickory in Wisconsin, J-DUB in Oregon, The Hop Spot in New York, and One Night Stan’s in Calgary, Canada.

Menu add-ons — saving relationships one fry at a time.
