Watched the vid, you guys use russets I believe, peel and chip. The important thing is soak in clean water , then dry. I fry at 170 both times. I leave for about 20 to 30 mins before I refry, it lets the chip rest and go almost limp. Then refry. Best ever. I only ever do it that way now.
Good luck

Russ

thanks Pard, one thing I know is that when I did them Russ Style we liked'em a bunch

Lol, you got me thinking as I typed, we had twice fried chips last night with sausages and fried eggs. Was good.

Bringing this one back with a question.

Pard, I sliced and soaked my taters, then dried them, then fried at 330F until they began to start browning, then I put them on paper towels to cool and they were limp, then I fried them again at the same temp and altho they were brown, they were "LIMP" ? Wha'sup with this

Ive had that before Em. I think I cooked them too long the first time.

thanks, Wild Bill - - - they tasted good but were like eating tater worms

I only twice fry my FF and truly believe it is up to the moisture content of the potato. There is a chain of burger places called 5 Guys that uses a different sourced potato everyday and I have asked them about their experience since their FF are never that crisp. I was told there was no way they could consistently do crisp fries so they quit even trying. They said time, temp, and moisture content was so different with each batch. If you notice, you can get crisp fries every time with processed FF like Ore Idas or even from places like McDonalds because all theirs are always the same. Just my .02

thanks, that's probably the factor and I did use a White Tater yesterday - - the one with the thin peeling - - I doubt that I'll be doing them again this year BUT I think I'll use a big IdieHo next time and see what happens

I think your russet is equivalent to our tatters. I use agria. Great roasting or chips. I'm bush with family til next week, all family are at a working beef and sheep farm. Grandys are loving shifting sheep etc, and learning about life with no wifi or TVs. Only get reception when in motueka for supplies.
Happy new year everyone.

Russ and shirl.

Rat backatcha, Pard, holler when you can
