Why did I forget my deepfrier at my old place (500km away) argg. I'll make sure to get it when we pick up tom to move him in with us.

Thanks for your help

Belgium is the home of the best fries in the world! And hey.... I am a Belgian

First of all: we ALWAYS use a deepfryer for making fries. The ones made in the oven are unacceptable here

Here we go then!

1) Peel the potaoes, then wash and dry them.
2) Use the cutter to cut fries.
3) VERY IMPORTANT: take a cotton kitchen towel, and dry ALL fries thoroughly! Otherwise they will stick together and get all soft!
4) Bake 1st time at 140°C during about 3 minutes.
5) When the rest of your meal is nearly ready, bake the same fries in 180°C untill they are golden brown. Eat them right away! All fries get soft when you wait to long !

Enjoy your dinner

Hi,

After Lut, there is nothing more to add! This is the perfect way to make them! Never use an oven!
The fries are called French, but Belgians ARE, IN FACT, THE SPECIALISTS to make them!

thanks guys

Since I don't have my deep frier, I guess I could just boil my oil in a special pot (the one with another pot in it that has holes on the bottom, it'll let me drain them (forgot I had a pot like that)

Your help has been great
