Anyone know how they make them...?!
Answers: I go to Ocean City MD. all the time and i love the Thrashers fries on the Boardwalk.....I know they use peanut oil but i have tried to make them several times at home and they just dont seem to taste the same.....i've tried about 5 different potatos cooked them longer cooked them shorter but they just dont taste the same.....do they do something to them before they fry them just wondering cause im about to make some tonight.
There's a trick that they use, and restaurants us them all the time........The potatoes are actually fried twice.......
Idaho Russets are your best bet for Belgian Frits:
6 baking potatoes, like russets
1 quart vegetable or peanut oil
Salt
Peel the potatoes, and cut them into batons that are about the length and width of your index finger.
Preheat a deep pot of oil to 325 degrees F.
For the first fry, deep fry potatoes in the oil for 5 to 6 minutes, or until a light golden color. Do not over load fryer. Fry in 3 batches if necessary. Remove the potatoes using a slotted spoon, and allow them to cool to room temperature.
Raise the temperature of the oil to 375 degrees F.
For the second fry, deep-fry the potatoes for 2 minutes, or until crispy. Remove potatoes, and transfer into a colander or bowl. While still hot, salt the potatoes.
Serve with favorite dipping sauce.
Enjoy!!!!
