Once vs Twice Fried French Fries
Video Overview & Insights
How do you get those crispy french fries at restaurants or fast food chains? The secret is frying it twice. It may seem like a hassle but if you do it in large batches, it greatly reduces the effort. The difference is amazing!
Man potatoes are expensive there 😮 getting my 10kg fries for 99 cents😂 in the Netherlands when they're on sale

Frying twice is the way to go but use peanut oil; it tastes much better.

nooooooooo how do we stop this double fry trend from noobs misunderstanding par-cooked fries.... do not double fry and ruin your fries!!!! NEVER DOUBLE DIP!! EDIT: ..ok i saw the whole video and he's kind of doing it right. BUT DON'T CALL IT A DOUBLE FRY!!!! Thats where these noobs misunderstand what your doing, and they literally re fry the basket of done fries, making it oily, stale, dark, and inconsistent. They got it from people blanching or par cooking fries before putting it in the freezer, but since they do that in oil a lot, they call it "frying" and so people thought, ohh fry twice, extra crunchy, ok. but it only works if you very lightly, very quickly do it, so you can freeze it, and make those air pockets and bubbles.

now do stuck in the fridge for 24 hours vs just cooling on the counter for a few hours.

@themelanininme9998Hey you, ok let me tell you slowly, you were perfect, I mean who could have given that class better? So now if you are not teaching, you are wasting your time! Thank You , Thank You, and Thank You. Bob
@bobbauldock3846Don't have to freeze... Also if you do freeze that is when it is important to not crowd the pan.. also allow some time after removing batch of fries to give the oil a chance to come back up to temp.
@kudahman52How is an Asian guy not frying in a wok?
@danieltang1705You don't share the secret of receipe
@rameshchaturvedi1412this is just the best tutorial for making fries.
@firehandszarbsoaking in water 10 minutes and mixing around a little, drying then frying once also makes them pretty crunchy. You probably just aren't frying long enough. at first it sounded like you wanted a quick easy recipe but you take 24 hours to make them
@botaineImma try this method
@geminidaniVery very impressed 😍
@nicks231988bro, do I put them on the freezer? for how long :P?
@mercadorodriguezgerson3549They look shit lol
@johnchallenger3204Im very impressed, going to try this myself.
@firehandszarbwhen you double fry you are meant to do it at a low heat first, then after 3-4 minutes remove the fries , let them rest about 10min and fry again at a higher temperature, it's a basic concept that work with frying pretty much anything, chicken, potatoes, springrolls,etc ). Easiest way is to chop your fries, rinse the starch, put them in a freezer and double fry. A lot of of videos out there try to make it ore complicated for views and fake new ideas that simply don't work. Oh my fuck go look up a bechamel sauce it gets fucking ridiculous!
@alecpedchenko666Thank you very much for this because I'll be frying them myself now. I did as he said but freezed mine for about 8 hours and they were really crunchy when I fried them. If you don't have a zip lock bag you just keep them in an airtight container... I don't know if it affects the crunch but they were still crunchy. And be careful when frying the second time because it fries faster😊😊😊😊.. I'm really thankful.. God bless you
@naldienaddy4405It seems like freezing it would keep the moisture in, which is ideal because I usually twice fry leftovers and they turn out hollow because they were at room temp. I’m definitely going to try the freezing method next time.
@AnalstrosenThe art of crispy chips has to do with the type of fat you use to cook with as they all have different boiling points. Try using lard to get best results. Veg oil makes the chips a bit soggy and no crisping. I always get crispy chips using once cooked using lard.
@trafficone200811 disliked ! Yay
@coconut1942Plz let me know after peeling the potatoesh frying time period before twice frying ??
@saifullahaslam9955I microwave then fry back when i ate Frencheis. Microwaving makes it dry, frying makes it crunchy.
You don't get the soft inside and crunchy outside, though. Its just crunchy all throughout which I very much like!
What you're doing is called blanching and its a commonly used tactic in most midwestern bars and mom n pop shops. It DOES keep them crispy a little longer, but not much longer than it usually would hold its texture.
@connorvaughn6460interesting!!
@EllahRahThey want to be a lot more brown than that
@connorboy43I have a food eating fetish and it sounds just like you_.
mike
Why peel them?
@ceasaraugustus1758Haha you've never made this video today
@dreamsphereetriple fry? anyone
@ariespain6472Good job dude
@jamieshawgandyUse peanut oil
@DJSephEntertainmentGreat informative video. Thank you. New subscriber.
@BillyReedMusicI worked at NY Fries as a teen. The secret is a 3 stage frying process: 1) blanch at low heat for a long time until translucent, set to rest 20 mins min. 2) Cook at medium heat until golden, centre is white and fluffy 3) Fry at high heat for shorter period of time to reheat and crisp. I forget the exact timing and temperature but the process is that.
@ww3kI made them today exactly as you did in the video. Best fries ever! I can't wait to make them again and again! I've shared your video with others so they can see for themselves how perfect these are! Oh and one more thing, I blanched in oil like you did, then froze them and fried again. Then I did another batch by blanching in oil, cooling for 10 min (no freezing) and frying again. The frozen fries were definitely way better. You could tell a difference in taste and texture. Thank you!!
@solatgirlVery interesting didn't know the process for fast food restaurant fries is to fry them once then put them in the freezer and then serve them to you buy frying them twice. It's genius. Now I know why I couldn't replicate fast food fries at home. Next time I will fry them twice.
@Naturenerd1000Dude just use a 'frituur' seriously!
@daanm3869French fries are poison. I love In N Out fries but try not to order them often.
@barneygoogle2720Belgium is known for its "french fries", 2 times fried, always! normally you do once on 160 degrees C, then secund time 180 degrees C... you let them cool inbetween, but normally no freezing
@checkedholidaysI am wondering if a airfryer would give you similar results. I stopped making fried foods because of the oil although I just olive or coconut for everything now. Hate to add another kitchen gadget even though I just got one of those Instant Pots for traveling.
@mrj-charles6383Love it!
@JK-VisionsJust take out the frozen french fries when you need it. Oh it seems so convenient hahaha
@samkcTry the air fryer. It is crunchy every time.
@FollowCindyLinI think that the fries fried one time until golden are the best. And I wouldn't want my fries to taste anything like Burger King or MacDonald's as I think their fries are horrible. But well, different people different tastes.
@SantoRedentor@ 42 seconds he's not speeding up the video, he's just Asian
@Puggles678Double frying is for newbs. You just drink oil, like pro!
