how to prep fries????

[Marty Champions]

I just fry them its difficult to get big fries crispy enough

I mainly dump alot of ranch dressing and montery cheese on it

Anyone got something better?

Shoestring fries....

If you have patience enough, cook them twice.

OK, my European heritage and upbringing is going to come out here, but I like fries with...mayo! (no homo)

Rob Lowe and Dan Hill can't have any Mayo

cavendish oven fries taste like lays chips! Very good...
15min in the oven, turn over half way, I use convection mode.
Low fat as well, eat them a good 3-4 times a week with ribs or with chicken and rice.

Falcon, what is going on with your diet? French fries are not that healthy

I usually wrap the fries in Kale Greens and pour in alot of Sea Salt before frying.

Sprinkle a lil beepollen on top and a single bitcoin and it's ready to serve!

The oil that gets absorbed into fried foods happens within the first few seconds after it is removed from the oil, not while it's inside the hot oil.  When removed, the steam condenses and oil fills the void as the temperature of the food drops.  If you fry at a correct and constant temperature, and fry at the correct temperature, little to no oil is absorbed, hence you will get a crispy fry.  Your oil is not at a correct temperature and your removal from the oil after its done is not fast enough.

Try 400 degrees.

Also, there is no reason for Marty to really fry twice because I am assuming that he is using already fried frozen fries to start with so he will be essentially frying twice.  Now, if you make too many fries and can`t eat them all, refrying them is the best way and you will have nice crisp fresh fries again, even after being in the fridge or even stone cold.  This is essentially a confit.

That really is an under appreciated combo, I like them in blue cheese too.

I am probably biased in my thinking, as I am thinking about the typical fries one would purchase at mcdonalds.

But I guess there are healthy ways to make fries.

Its just oil and potatoes.  Same thing you would make at home if you were making french fries.  If the temperature of frying is correct it can be lower fat than pan frying or shallow frying as less oil will be absorbed in a deep fry.

Well, aren't the frieds at macdonalds loaded with salt and other crap that is bad for you?

I am no expert in food, like you are TA!!

I eat baked fries my whole prep.... Got a nuwave, bakes them nice and crisp.

No, they aren`t.  In fact, ALWAYS order fries with no salt from fast food.  Not because there is too much salt, but this forces them to cook you a fresh batch. 

They usually don`t put enough salt on their fries in my opinion even if they do salt them.

Damn you must like salt! I always think they are pretty liberal with it

Ahhh, gotcha.

I never thought about ordering fries with no salt, so they have to make you a fresh batch.

Whats wrong with your regular oven and why not deep fry instead?  Deep Fry can be less fat if done correctly and it only takes about 2 minutes or so of cooking time. (once your potatoes are prepared or if you are using already fried once like Marty does)

Sometimes I will eat salt just for eating salt`s sake.  I will open up my spice cabinet and dump a mouthful of Kosher salt.  I like the taste!

Sodium ingestion is harmless when you drink enough fluids anyways and it won`t have any effect either of water retention if you are drinking enough liquids.  No idea why people avoid it really, especially when they are pre-contest dieting.

And exhibit A for why cutting water & sodium is BS voodoo. Please see my man Eric who had ~8000mg sodium (normal for him) and around 2-2.5 gallons water here absolutely no diuretics.

If you really want something good, get some fried chicken and put it in your fridge for a day.  Next day, deep fry it.

The nuoven does it in half the time and uses 1/2 the energy. It bakes them perfectly to.  I'm sure it can be less fatting but when I cooking 2lbs of potatos a day why would I talk the chance that's it not done correctly?

I really don't think it's all bs. Some guys don't hold water no mater how much fucking salt they eat.. Some people even when they are lean hold water and are soduim sensitive. Every body is different so say that this guy didn't cut water dosnt mean that everyone should do it

How would it not be done correctly if you are deep frying with a thermometer?
