Frozen french fries

[Squanchy]

Help me settle a debate with @PurpleWalrus


How do you prepare your frozen fries? Do you thaw them then cook it? Or go straight from frozen to oven/oil/air fryer?

THE FIRST VOTES ARE IN

Frozen straight into the air fryer or oven.

What kinda person thaws those before cooking? Aint nobody got time for that.

 

[Alabamacoastie]

I usually put them on a cookie sheet and bake them from frozen.

Sometimes I dump them straight into frying oil. They go in frozen.

Ain't nobody got time to thaw frozen taters...

 

[Squanchy]

To be fair the offender keeps them in the fridge.

So frozen at grocery store

Thaws in they/their fridge (proper pronouns it is June after all)

Then goes in cooker next day or whatever

 

[PurpleWalrus]

Don't they/them me

Set the oven waaay hotter than the prescribed 450F, or use "broil." When oven hot, out the freezy bag they come, onto spray-oiled foil on cookie sheet, in they go. Flip once. God will tell you when to remove them.

Excellent with a side of walrus tusk puree'. Hold the leprosy.

Freezer straight into the hot bacon grease they go.

 

[vaskeet]

FROZEN into air fryer and sprayed with olive oil

Type of fries is far more important that the cooking method.

Say no to CrinkleCu*ts!

Replace * with n.

Do you flip each fry individually?

 

[Windini]

Do you flip each fry individually?

While this is the goal, I admit I often generalize, and seek/ settle for an 80% or better compliance rate.

I just throw them in a stainless steel bowl with a paper towel on the bottom of the bowl before I start the oil heating. By the time the oil is hot enough for them to go in the ice crystals are off the fries and I don't have to spend time cleaning up all the grease splatter off my stove like you do when you throw frozen ones in hot oil. It's more I can spend an extra minute of prep work and not have to clean up a mess than any kind of taste thing. I'm not waiting for them to completely thaw, just for the ice to get off them so the water doesn't pop grease everywhere when it flash evaporates. I do the same thing with any kind of frozen item I'm dropping in oil, corn dog, chicken nuggets, strips, etc.

decades ago we grew Kennebec / Irish Cobbler tators, those made the best fries / mashed tators
Red Bliss made the best tator salad, mash tators..

Frozen straight into the deep fryer with plenty of hot as hell lard-ass crisco oil.
No. No it won't. Your airs and ovens will not cook the fry 'as good as' no they won't. There is no be-nice cook method that will match the yummy-ness of throwing them little frozen shoestring bitches into exploding lava oil until they surrender.
