That's a lot of fat. You should have drank a diet coke.

Aw, very cute. Keep up the good work! My teenager made the sauce for our pork belly the other night and was so adorably proud of herself.

I meant fryer lol. Also you can keep the oil in the fryer and reuse it over and over again. I normally change the oil every 2 months

Well done! I am far too scared to deep fry anything!!

Canuck here to say you've used exactly 1/5th the appropriate amount of curd.

This Canuck agrees!! It will be better next time!

Down in the upside down land, we would call this a chip not a fry. Still looks delicious though

Yeah I saw that earlier today and I will say that if I hadn't I would have been deeply confused someone calling that Fry's

Are those not fries? It's mashed potatoes cut into sticks and deep-fried. Isn't that more or less how you make fries?

How do you dispose of all the oil

Might I suggest frying in a deeper pan? The shallow frying pan is making me nervous for bare arms…

It was all good. No injuries.l, or splashes, or painful spitting. Cooking bacon was more messy than this was.

I speak from worry and experience lol, I’m not very good at being careful.

Damn now I want some churros

Ooo churros.. maybe someone will post a recipe on here too!

Joshua Weissman's recipe on yt is good. You 100% need a piping bad with a star tip to make them crispy. Buy some caramel sauce to dip them.

Looks just like in the post, amazingly enough!

4 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

Thanks! Yeah it was pretty simple! I think it needs some spices added when mixing the potatoes and cornstarch though. It was kinda, meh.

Any better than cutting the potato and frying? (aka, standard fries)

4 years ago | Likes 19 Dislikes 0

Not really... They'd be good for dunking in a dip though! I might make them again as a party snack food. Need to add some spices though!

4 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Like you could do a potato bacon stick, a garlic/herb stick etc. I think there's potential for adding more flavour to it. Bland on their own

4 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Good point. Can distribute the flavor inside, unlike a standard fry.

not deep enough for a deep fryer but looks ok on the result

4 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 7

Just need enough for them to float. These are pretty thin, and about and inch of oil in the pan. Doesn't look like it though from that angle

If you’re already mashing the potato up, why not make little cubes? Maximize the crispy exterior

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Oo. I like that thought!

I have a better one. Cover the cheese curds in the potato mixture and fry them. Cheese curd fries

Did you blanch the fries first?

4 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 1

I want to say the potatoes need to be brined first. 48-72 hours

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 3

Nah. There was a post on viral for some potatoes mashed fries.. they were okay. Not amazing. I think if I blanched them they'd disintegrate.

4 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 1

Did you par-boil them in water then? That would be a form of blanching as well. I've done it both ways myself.

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Blanching them creates like a gel so when you cook again the outside is crispy with a nice soft inside

4 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

This is not cut potato, it's boiled potato mixed with cornstarch, rolled out, cut and then fried. Blanching wouldn't work.

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

You want to blanche them at 325F until you can easily push a finger through, then fry at 350/375F until crispy

4 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 2

But they are already blanched when you make the mash.

4 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

Good to know I will try it!

4 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

Nono, you mashed these and added cornstarch, right? Do not blanch, they're already cooked.

Ohh, okay, good that's what's I thought lol.
