Are Oven Fries Crispier Than Deep Fried?

This cooking video was most confusing. The camera was focused on the food rather than the chef, he wasn't talking super-fast while slopping ingredients around the kitchen and making a mess, the resulting meal did not look incongruous to what the chef was telling me it looked like, and I'm pretty sure I would not get food poisoning from eating it.

What's going on???

came here after the horrible oven fried fries by someone else; used the mic to demonstrate crunch

Nice...I lived in France for many years and there many people parboil the potatoes and add a bit of white vinegar to the water. They claim it gives them an extra good taste. I have tried this and agree. What are your thoughts on this approach?

I need a peeler like that, I have a smaller one without the side tool and have to use the tip of a knife to clean up the potatoes once peeled

Great looking recipe. I've been asked to cook dinner at my friend's house on saturday, and I'm going to try these 😊

... It's also strangely gratifying to see how well my mom actually taught me, when I was little.
Every single thing you did, and tip you gave, up until parboiling - I already knew from her lessons ❤
I wish I could tell her how well she prepared me for this part of life

225 C? I assume?

We don't need no steeenkin lids

I've always thought deep-fried is the way to go, especially for foods like fritters, fries and nuggets. The problem is that it usually uses a lot of oil, and contamination problems can ensue. Last year, however, my house's oven was retired due to a broken heating element, and was replaced with an air frryer. I was considering getting a big oven for pot roasts and stuff like that, but the kitchen wasn't big enough. But still, this can also work for air fryers!

Just got 70 lbs of potato's from the farmer and will be doing all things potato. Thank you Chef.

Jesus, James, this is so much better than the reactionary videos you've been posting.

How long do you refrigerate them? Thanks for sharing

If you put vinegar in the water the acidity prevents the pectin from breaking down, and your potatoes won't fall apart.

Adding a few tablespoons of vinegar to the water when par-boiling will prevent pectin break down and keep the fries from falling apart due to the acidity of the water.
Secondly - just par fry for 1 minute at 400F , then a final fry in oil at the same temp for 3-4 minutes - if done properly, minimal oil will absorb into the fries. This method yields nearly the same calories as frying in oil.

People and their olive oil 🤢

Adding vinegar to the parboil water will prevent the potatoes from breaking apart.

Thank you

In Belgium, our secret is, we fry fries twice. I don't know how this translates to the oven, but maybe it would be interesting to bake fries twice shortly instead of baking them once for 16 minutes.

The time stamp says "how to peel an onion" instead of potato, just saying 😊

hmmm, reminds me of a certain season the board guy

How long do you have them in the fridge?!?! Lol

my right ear is jealous

what was the sauce at the end

I've lived in Kennebec my entire life and I'd honestly never heard of kennebec potatoes. We don't actually grow many potatoes here, that's all up north so I'd expect them to be called Aroostooks or something.

What did you use for seasoning? Salt?

Hi there. Great video did you put the chips straight into the fridge then or let them cool slightly first? Thanks.

Chef, what is your view on Air Fryers? Is air frying healthy?
