After blanching, can we freeze the fries?
Frank, you’re a genius.
Question will they keep well IF frozen after the blanching stage?
2 business day fries? No thanks
Thanks so very very much! I've just now wondered that too, if keeping Potatoes in Water is ok to do…
Who does he think he is 2 day frys lol
I could not believe it when he should the sauce I was intimately thinking no way he made my favorite sauce for French fries etc. and then he said the mayo, ketchup and siracha. Cant believe it haha. Is this sauce very common have never seen anyone made it
Absolute overkill. Who TF did they think their audience was? A 2 day french fry ffs…
Nice, it'll only take like three days to make the best fryes ever
G t f o h ! Anybody who needs a thermometer to make French Fries is tripping….
Do you think you could freeze the blanched fries and do the second frying another day? Maybe make a bunch, freeze them in saparate bags (so you have the portion you actually need) and have them ready whenever you feel like it?
Idk if I'm making sense ????
What a waste of time
So many whiney babies in the comments. Its not complicated at all, and "food prep" is something youre going to have to learn if you want higher quality meals.

I was hungry and wanted to make fries, now I haven't eaten for 12 hours and I'm only halfway through the video
I have so many questions
Weird… I can't remember having to wait 3 whole hours the last time I ordered burger and fries at a restaurant for my fries to be done… Must have magicians working as chefs.
Dude, I'm not waiting 24 hours to make french fries
Thank you so much for this awesome tip! I just made BFFF( blenched fridged fried FRIES ) ????????❤????❤???? ILOVEDIT!
When he says into the freeze is it the area where there’s ice o the normal temperature one
Im sorry but the fries look burnt
????this guy did not pill the outer layer ????
