[DDSBYDAY]

   That  was step one.  The secret stuff is coming up.   

[Bobby Bass]

Anyone else notice there are no  in this DDS fry   

[dakids]

Nice clear picture.  No quarter in picture.  No score.  Practice for when and if you ever catch a fish. lol

[Boar]

I got this double d. Umm guys did yu happen to notice the title of th le thread? Its a secret FRY recipe, not a secret fish fry recipe. Hence no fish and if he did have a fish it would rocket us into first place along with the qua :bonk:rter.

[Boar]

Oh and bob those are potatoes. So he means to make FRENCH fries.  There not fish. So its not a fish fry. Carry on Dounle D, im anticipating step 2 with ernist.

  Step 2.
 
  Plank the fries.  Cut the sides off so you have a square edge to be able to get somewhat even size fries.  You can use a mandolin but I find they end up to be too skinny.  I prefer the bigger steak fry.

  If you want to cut an fairly straight cut hold the potato at a 45 degree angle to the left if you are right handed.  Works for slicing bread or anything else too.

   Once the fries are cut place them in a cool water bath for at least 5 minutes to remove some starch.

Awsome. Looking good. Nice fish too.

[dakids]

Again nice picture. Centered fish, clear, no quarter or tapemeasure= no score.
keep them coming

   Step 3.   We need to drain the starch water and replace it with cold water.  Now we need to add a little of this and that.  (Pic 1)

   Put it on the stove top and bring it to a boil.  This is a Campapalluza batch so it is going to take a while.

  Once the water comes to a boil set a timer for 5 minutes.  At that time the potatoes should have started to soften up slightly.

I'm not even 1/2 way done yet.  The hard part is coming up.

[DDSBYDAY]

Step 1.  Wash and peel

Step 2.  Plank the fries

Step 3. Soak in cold water for at least 5 min.  to remove starch.  Rinse and cover with water.  Add secret ingredients and bring to a boil.  Once the boil is reached continue to boil  for about 5 minutes. (In this case I had to go 8 because of the larger cut).   The potatoes at this point should be flexible and slightly soft.

Step 4.  Transfer to a cold water bath.  Ice water is best.  We need to stop the cooking process.

Step 5.  Once the fries have cooled completely transfer them to a towel to dry.  I will change towels about 3x.  The more moisture removed makes the next step easier.

Step 6.  The one you should do outside if possible.  It's not possible because it is raining out here right now.

   Preheat vegetable oil to 375 degrees.

   Drop the fries in for 1- 2 minutes.  We do not want any color.  There will be a lot of steam at this point.  We are removing all the moisture in the fries.  Be sure to let the temp get back to 375 before dropping the next batch in.

Does it matter what type or potato? 

[Bobby Bass]

 

[Boar]

Coolbeans D, hey why nkt bringbur deepfryer since we have electric sites

[DDSBYDAY]

  I am not sure if the type of potato matters that much.  I look at it as a 3hr project.   A bigger potato produces more fries and easier to peel.  Last batch of 10lbs of potatoes is coming up.  These fries will be frozen.  The next time they hit the hot oil will be at Leech Lake.  It will take about 3 minutes in the hot oil  to  go from frozen to the best fries you ever had.   I have made these a few times and the funny part is I never get one.  I am still working on the onion ring procedure.  It's getting close.

I know my grandma prefered the red over white for lefsa cauee of flavor, but could see the white better for fries because of the size and shape.

[DDSBYDAY]

  My grandma would give me lefsa for my birthday.   I never got to make it with her but I will be talking to my mom and aunt about it.  I need to be able to get close.   

[DDSBYDAY]

Step 7.  Dump out fries and let cool.   Draining oil is not a big deal because they will be re fried.  Pop in the freezer.   

Step 8.  Bring oil to temp.  (375).  Drop frozen fries in.  Fry until color is slightly golden brown.  Should not take more than 3 minutes.

    This bag contains what started out as 10lbs. of potatoes. 

   I hope we remember to get a pic of the finished product.
