    Pro Tip:

    1 fry in. If the oil does that, it’ll only burn one fry AND it won’t overflow.

    If it doesn’t do that, you can put the rest in. More fries will cool the oil more, but only if it’s not already too hot.

    Turn your heat down. Oil boils.

    They blanched the potatoes. Which is correct. But you are also supposed to drain the water and shake it off well. Those fries were sitting in a pool of water getting over saturated

    Not stupid if you are after fire insurance

    Video cuts off at the climax, which might upset a lot of people, but here is why :

    After I saw what was going on(was my first try attempting the fries), I immediately stopped the recording and took the pan off the heat. That’s why it cuts off. But of course, despite my reaction, there was lots of fire and oil explosion which left the kitchen messed up with oil, but luckily no one got injured and there was no further fire.

    Saw the potato liquid and immediately knew. Hope you’re ok OP, grease fires are no joke.

    Why does this happen and how do I avoid it? I have a French fry slicer that I haven’t used yet.

    isn’t there an internet-made song about causing cooking oil fireballs?

    Op I think you learned already but

    – Deeper pot. Not just because of overflow, but it WILL spit up bits of oil above the surface, dont want them on the stove top

    – if they’re wet, lay them on a towel. if you plan ahead, blanch them then just leave them out to air dry before you fry. I dont worry about a bit of moisture but they look pretty wet.

    Just buy a fryer. Why do it on the stove? It barely costs any money.

    I’m guessing the camera gets destroyed right as the video quits???

    The wetter foods are when you place them in a pot of boiling oil, the most bubbles you are going to get.

    If you are deep frying food, it has to be as dry as possible before going into the oil. Not only does this prevent the issue you had from happening, but it also makes a crispier outside.
    If the food is wet when you put it in, it gets flash steamed on the outside before it gets fried.

    Throw water to stop the fire too 🫢

    Thank goodness the video stopped otherwise your kitchen would have burnt down

    The thing is, don’t ever season your fries because that will make them sweat and lose water and get soggy before putting them in oil that’s too high in temperature. 🍟🥵 Season your fries afterward, once they’re done, and let them rest for 5 minutes. 😋⏳ Thank me later, be safe. 🙏👍
