Is Avacado oil an option? I want to try to make it a bit healthier using a better option for oil
Too much!
Wowwwww❤❤

'Belgian' fries 🙂
Gonna make these for my kiddos this weekend. Thanks, Andy!
Marfona variety. In beef fat or lard or olive oil if nothing else is available
I might try par boiling
I live in the UK and our chip shops have "chip shop vinegar" or "non brewed condiment" much nicer because malt vinegar is very harsh in comparison. Check it out & Enjoy your fish & chips!
Chips are much better when deep fried in lard, not oil. So much more flavour and crispness.
i just use a different process for air fryer fries: just soak in cold water, then strain and let them dry (or dry them off), then coat them lightly with corn starch, spray, fry, salt. that method gives a pretty good shell and tbh if you want the more deep-fried type taste you can just use more oil IMO 🤷♂ (maybe msg also? didn't try it yet)
In Belgium (where fries were invented of course) we use dedicated fryer appliances with built in thermostat. We never boil in water, but do first cook at 160 C. Beef fat is indeed best, but due to health concerns we mostly use a special vegetable oil mix for fries. 2nd cook is at 180-190, yes the temperature drops a bit with those consumer appliances. So all in all very good explanation. Just don't get the vinegar and ketchup part, everyone knows that fries go best with mayo! 🙂
When you airfry, half-way through the timer, give m a couple of shakes before letting them finish frying
Really, never had a problem with chips. My mum used to cook them, thin ones, in a pan frier, no boiling first, nothing like that. And they were delicious. That was in the 6os as well so what the f.🙄🙄
I guarantee you they will not turn brown when you boil them. Ever heard of mashed potatoes?
Lol, in Cairns, we have washed or unwashed.
Quite Possibly The Greatest Thumbnail Ever
When you soak your potatoes, YES! it removes the starch, but also the oil lasts longer.
I saw a video that did a study on air frying. It suggested cooking longer at a lower heat for better results and for lower A.G.Es
Thank you, Chef Great content 🎉
triple fry takes too long. proceeds to spend 1.5 hours making fries
Chups n bread. Westshore Napier classic.
I just turn the heat on low, put em in the oil until they dry out and then turn the heat up at the end for the crisp.
They’re a bit oily but it’s definitely easier.
Steamed in a hangi, then fry. Bro!
I steam mine instead of boiling. The reason being i have left some chips in the water too long and they get mushy, whereas if i steam them they tend to hold their integrity a bit more. The only thing i would say is, when you steam them they tend to get a bit of a slick potato starch coating which can cause a bit of discolouration when frying. So i steam them, take the tray out, pour over a boiling water rinse, then let them dry. Its also good when you are cooking something in the pot water, and you can still steam the spuds at the same time.
Mate excellent video on how to do a near perfect chip from home 😄👍 Beautiful on really fresh bread or Tiger Rolls with real quality Butter (not margarine if you can gelp it ) the melting of butter when you stack on a heap of hot chips is Yuummo delicious 👍 il be cooking chips your way from now on at home ! Good stuff Andy 😊
Chips and French fries are totally different, what you're making are chips
Hot chip and mayo sanga’s are the go. Gotta be crunchy chips though.
What would you recommend for a really good quality wooden cutting board?
Brady’s fruit are awesome. Sell fantastic native flowers too 🤙🏼
@1:56 I would want a bit of a bigger knife. It looks like you're making do with that one
@3:40 – Why vinegar? The reason I use vinegar is so that the fries don't start falling apart as you're boiling them, before frying. They don't seem to taste vinegary at all, but at least they stay together as fries!
What do you do with all that used oil?
Andy! Mate. You forgot NZ. WTF bro? What taters should we be using?
Anyone for McCain’s
Fries are those stringy things you get at fast food joints. You're cooking chips. 🙂
Nice chups bro!
Im only here for the chip buttie, thick sliced bread, well buttered, malt vinegar, salt, tom ketchup, doubled over or clapped together. Bloody perfect.
As a former fussy kid chips only every meal,farmer, greengrocer and wholesale buyer. Yes sebago the old ones shooting, lower water content. Blanched. Beef is best awsome like they used in old days.
Chips are favorite of everyone but always served frozen crap often from overseas. Shops with fresh cut chips are rare from health regulations and labor costs. Great vids a generation doesn’t know a real chip
for the air fryer, did you toss them half way through?
Dont just soak your chips in water for 20 minutes…. Soak them in extremely salty water for 2 hours
🤤🤤🤤🤤
After an initial rinse off.
A convenient option is to prepare fries in the oven. I find them tastier than in the air fryer, and still healthier than deep-fried in oil.
Andy you need to try svickova with knedlik
A czech dish
25 minutes! they're ready for mashed potatoes 😂
