One concern with the addition of vinegar: acidic environments actually prevent Maillard reactions from happening. It's why your fries are much more blonde when they're done. I actually sometimes add baking soda to increase the pH of my boiling water - it leads to a much more fluffy exterior, leading to more surface area, and much crispier/crunchier fries in the end with mashed potato insides.

I’ve made both Adam and Ethan’s versions of these and at this point I mix and match. I think the vinegar is a mistake (for me) for reasons not mentioned in the video. Your mileage may vary, but here’s the difference. The vinegar makes the fries more uniform and prettier but in the original recipe is you’re essentially making British style roast potatoes, and that’s the opposite of what you want for roasties. The idea is that with the outer layer potatoes breaking down into a sort of mash that mixes with the fat and then roasting in the oven, what goes in as slightly messy blobs of potato comes out really crispy while the inner parts stay soft. If you add vinegar, because the outer edge of the potato doesn’t break down as much, the oil is mostly just going to sit on the edge of the potato and you’ll end up with a much thinner layer of crisp. As noted elsewhere, the Maillard reaction is less as well, which I don’t like for these. The other problem with the vinegar is that if you don’t get the water and acid ratios right, the potatoes don’t soften up. The first time I did this, I had no problems at all, but the second, I must have added too much vinegar because the potatoes just wouldn’t soften for a really long time. It’s not a problem as long as you measure, but I would measure. For the rest of it, salting the water is a good idea. I think the peanut oil is more necessary if you make this version of the recipe, because there’s less of a layer to crisp. I’ve done both and the difference isn’t pronounced in my experience, but I’ve never done a side by side comparison. Anyway, I like darker roasted, crunchy potatoes. These are blonder and in my experience a bit less crunchy, but prettier. Also because they break down less you can cut them thinner so they’re more like fries than steak fries. So if you want thin uniform chips, this is your technique.

Also, for me, I didn't like the vinegar's effect of making the fries rubbery, plus it added a little flavor that I didn't really like... but salting the water??? That's gold advice.

I would actually say no to vinegar- I actually add ap ich of baking soda to my fries. The Maillard Reaction is quite sensitive to pH and happens better at higher pH, that's why your fries in the video are quite blonde. It's the same reason why adding baking soda to carmelized onions makes them cook faster. Also, baking soda boiled potatoes break down the pectins at the surface to create kind of a mashed potato consistency that's starchy. When baked, this makes kind of a crispy outer shell. Kenji does this in his baked potato video.

@Pod The difference between cooking pasta with salted and unsalted water is tremendous. Next time you cook pasta, season the water with way more salt than you probably tried before. Taste the water, it should be noticably salty, like a broth, without being displeasingly salty. The results will speak for themselves. But keep in mind, you will not need nearly as much salt in the sauce as usual.

@Pod No, salting the water will bring out the flavour of the pasta itself, which can make a difference depending on your pasta. Cheap pasta doesnt have much of a taste, but better quality or even self made noodles do have a taste, which will be greatly enhanced through salting the water. Basically like meat, the salt water has much more time of penetrating the pasta and getting an even seasoning.

Adam's recipe is best for sweet potato fries (which are difficult to get really crispy) but always salt the water too! The vinegar does add a tiny amount of flavor and helps prevent breaking, but they are a little more rubbery and less crispy and turn out a lighter color. Baking soda amps up the crispiness while vinegar diminishes it, but it doesn't matter much unless the potatoes are cut really thick.

For anyone wondering, I tried this and yes the vinegar trick is absolutely genius . I don't have to worry about the potatoes breaking and falling while draining or adding in my spices , they hold their shape the whole time . I put it in the oven like shown in the video the first couple times I made it . But yesterday I just used the same amount of oil I would use to grease my oven pan, but put it on a regular pan on the stove and fried my potatoes there and they turned out WAY MORE crispier in half the time. I know the point of the video was to make oven fries , but for anyone out there who Just wants a healthier alternative to deep fried fries. Then this works well . So 1) boil water 2) add salt and vinegar 3) add your potato slices. 4) after 8 minutes take it off, drain 5) add your spices ( I saw another video that recommended adding bread crumbs into your spice mix to make the fries more crispy) 6) add 1-2 spoons of oil to a hot pan. Add in your potatoes and put a lid on it and stir occasionally so it doesn't burn

Thanks! I'm trying to make healthier fries too. 1) What spices did you find work best? I'm considering panko breadcrumbs and coarse salt now that you mention it. 2) How high of a heat did you use? 3) Did you keep flipping the fries, or keep them on one side? 4) Once the fries are in the pan, how long should they take?

@@TripleFudgePacker Hi!! 1. If you have peri peri masala that would work well. But I just throw in a bunch of spices- cayenne pepper (or chilli powder) , garlic powder , pepper , salt, bread crumbs (That day I didn't have bread crumbs, so I grinded a handful of Wheat flakes (the cereal) and used it and it did the trick) 2. I keep it at a medium to low heat and cover it with a lid 3. Yes. You do need to flip them occasionally. Honestly with the pan method you can just eyeball it. I'm usually making something else while these are on the stove. So I just check in on them every 5-6 minutes and flip it or so ,so they don't stick to the pan or burn and Lower the heat if I think its too high or they are almost done and take them out when they look really crispy which would be in about 15 minutes I would so. One thing I would add is that. Much like the oven fries you do need to space the fries out, so I usually have them on two pans simultaneously if I'm making a big batch . Or you can also put one batch in the oven and one on the stove and see which you like better

And your observation that salting the water salts the interior gave me an idea; I boiled some garlic cloves in the water too and the interior became garilicky. So now in the oven I have sweet potato fries that were boiled with garlic and fresh chilis and red wine vinegar instead of white vinegar. Smells fookin awesome. Thanks for the ideas!

Right?

Not that anyone cares but this is how I cook chips: (Takes about 2 1/2 hours… yeah I know, it’s a lot) Peel and cut the potatoes into thin sized chips Wash off as much of the starch as you can Place potatoes in a bowl of water with sugar in it (about 1-4 teaspoons, depending on how sweet you want them and how many you’re making) Let them soak for about an hour Then transfer the chips into a saucepan and boil with salty water until they bend slightly when picked up (check with a knife or spoon) Be careful to not break them Drain the potatoes and spread sunflower oil onto a tray… in my opinion sunflower oil is the best oil for cooing potatoes Place potatoes onto the tray with reasonably sized gaps in between each one Then spray (or if you don’t have a spray just carefully pour) more sunflower oil onto the potatoes Put in oven (about 210°c for fan oven 450°c if not) Keep checking them and then after about 10-15 minutes flip them around to make sure they don’t stick to the tray Check them until they’re to your standard of crispyness and then take them out one you think they’re ready Personally I don’t add any special seasoning but that’s just my opinion •-•

Well, when you wash off the starch it’ll make them crispy, if you don’t they go soft and crumbly (and also I think it stops them sticking together, as well as adding salt when boiling) And I let them soak so they have time to absorb

A good alternative to parboiling is to rinse your cut potatoes then leave them in cold salty water to soak (the longer the better) this will remove a lot of the starch and soften them but without compromising their structure. When you’re ready to cook them, just drain and dry them the best you can with a paper towel or clean dishcloth then add them to a preheated oven tray full of hot oil, season and then bake until crispy. This is my favourite way to do fries / wedges as it makes for a seriously crispy outside yet the inside almost goes to mash!

I tried Adam's recipe three times, with varied thicknesses and oven temperatures. They kept taking significantly less time than they did in his video, and some percent of them would become burnt to a crisp. I decided to try our Big Boss air fryer and made the perfect fries. Toss in olive oil, salt, and pepper. 425 and rotate a couple times for a total of about 20 minutes. Perfect with about 10% of the effort.

I love this upgrade to the recipe. I boiled my 1/2 inch thick Yukon gold potato sticks in water with a splash of white vinegar added to it for 9 minutes (I used a small pot and gave the water an extra minute to heat back up). Then I baked them at 450 for 45 minutes. There were crazy crispy! 35 minutes would have been enough time. I also left the water unsalted because I like to use smoked salt at the end.

I am obsessed with these crispy oven fries! I have made them 4 times in as many days using Ethan's techniques with different potatoes and oils. So far, Yukon potatoes baked in peanut oil is my favorite way to go. One adjustment I made was rising the potatoes in cold water after I boiled them. This makes them easier to handle.

"Well I think it's important to note that every recipe is going to have its pros and cons. Mine is about maximising my crunch factor to ease of direction. Even though it cooks faster, I don't wanna be sitting there separating my fries one by one evenly on a pan, I have better things to do with my time. And as for the vinegar? I don't want to waste my vinegar in the pot, I'd just need to go out and buy more, so my recipe also saves money too! And I like it when my fries break into pieces, it also makes fries of different sizes, so if you're boring and like consistency I can see how that could appeal to you... maybe I just prefer variety in my life, I don't know, it's your call. Again, you do you. Oh and as for seasoning the potatoes as they boil? I prefer to season my tongue."

thank you for the tip with the saturated fat! I experimented before with vinegar and baking soda, i found the baking soda variant much more crispy, but if you add too much baking soda it tastes funny and you need to be extra cerefull for them, not to cook them to long, because they easaly fall apart. I also found, that adding steam to the oven helps with the crispyness.

I liked the overall ompitimisation approach, but I think there's one caveat to your proposed technique - the acidic environment during the oven-roasting. You can tell that your version is significantly more blonde instead of golden brown, which I reckon is the effect of the presence of vinegar in the boiling solution - the potatoes soak up the acidic liquid and some of it stays on top (that's why it's probably not a matter of rinsing the potatoes after boiling), which inhibits browning. Do you have any words on this phenomenon?
@sheepish2159

@szymonantoniak1772 3 жыл бұрын
@@sheepish2159 You're right, and that's another issue - as Ethan has stated in the video, the vinegar inhibits the breakdown of pectine, so the outside doesnt get that fluffy light coating of starch that crisps up nicely when roasted. Adam ragusea mentions the importance of that in his video, and America's test kitchen have a whole video on making sweet potato oven fries, where they amp the process up by coating the potato wodges in cornstarch slurry.

Okay, so I made this. I used olive oil, and the cook time was still about 30 minutes for some damn crispy fries. They were so crispy, I think they could even afford to be larger for more of a fluffy interior to crispy exterior ratio. Some people mentioned the vinegar hindering the maillard reaction. While that might have been true, the fries were still really crispy despite being just blonde. Probably looked similar to McDonald's fries in terms of color. No problem from my perspective there

I definitely still disagree with the vinegar step- the fact that they're starting to turn into mash on the exterior is what causes a lot of crispiness to develop. I also like to add baking soda to the water I boil my potatoes in to enhance their cragginess, and that wouldn't work well with vinegar for obvious reasons. Great video though- the peanut oil tip in particular is a good one.

This is awesome! So many great, iterative improvements! Adam and you both have different understandings of the cooking process, but you each demonstrate the exact same love for cooking and reasoning from first principles. I would rather watch you guys here on KZfaq, than watch the latest netflix blockbuster. I have learned so much, it’s crazy! Please keep making videos! P.S. My four year old son wants to know how to make McDonalds style fries at home. I suspect it has something to do with a combination of soaking the fries in water, then freezing the fries beforehand and frying them (while the oil repels against the water), but I’m not sure. I would love to see any future experiments you have that move the needle towards that goal!
