People don’t understand making fries is a long ass process

Instructions unclear. Died of starvation in the process.

worked at five guys for 3 years. we cut the potatoes then run them through a machine to get the starch out then soak them in water all day. when we cook them we fry them for a minute or so then take them out the oil and let them cool for at least 2-3 mins. then we fry them again and use the pinch test to check when theyre ready. not a set formula to it because we get potatoes from all over and depending on where theyre from dictates how they cook. the fries should be golden brown and snap easily and when u pinch it the inside should be mashed potatoes. and then we season with salt or cajun seasoning.

I really like how precise the instructions are. "Boil them until they are kinda falling apart", "fry them until they're leathery-looking"

Most restaurants don't triple Cook chips, they buy a bag of frozen and sling in the fryer. That's too time consuming for profit. 💚💛❤️

Turns out the „one step he was missing“ takes 2 days.

You forgot to mention that while you make your meal you need to eat another few meals in between.

"Hey bro, can you make french fries for me?"
*"Sure, just wait 2 days"*

It takes 1 day not 3 I don't work in a Michelin star restaurant but I used to work at a BBQ joint in Kansas City which has been rated best fry in the state of kansas many times. This is the process:
Potatoes are rinsed and cut in the morning, cleaned again right after then left in a big bucket of water in a walk-in fridge. After ~4hrs water is drained and replaced. After another 4 hours water is drained again and the bucket is kept in a walk-in fridge overnight. Next morning the fries are flash-fried/ blanched to that soft white texture, 30 seconds. They are returned to the bucket and wheeled back to the fridge until ready to use, at which point you fry for 2 minutes 45 seconds until they are ready for consumption. This process brings out that distinct “fresh” flavor and crisps up the outside while keeping the inside soft. My comment might be a bit chunky but its not really a complicated process

Girlfriend: babe, make me some french fries.
Boyfriend: sure, be back in 2 business days.

Cooking at home: a 3 day process

My wife makes delicious fries and taught me how to. Give this a shot sometime:
1. Clean/Rinse your potatoes
2. Cut them into fries
3. Rinse until water runs clear
4. Cook them in boiling water until your fork punctures it without much effort. The fries still need to retain their shape. Boiling time depends on the potato. Some are more dense than others, requiring a longer boil time.
5. Remove from boiling water and allow to cool. I usually just throw them in some ice water and leave in the fridge for a few minutes. The ice water speeds up this process.
6. Drain the water and dry with paper towels. I usually fold them over 4 times so that it can absorb as much of the water as possible.
7. While your fries are drying up, heat up your oil.
8. Sprinkle the fries with Bicarb/Baking Soda/Baking Powder.
9. Fry and season

I know it's lengthy, but it's really good fries and worth the effort

I find it kind of funny how the french fries were just golden and they turned an orange-ish red
