8:01 I respect a man who speaks while making hand gestures while holding two french fries

I never thought the word "micro-blister" could sound so appetizing.

I love how this guy actually tells us what to do and what happens when u don’t do it and explains everything how to do them .. this guy is underrated love this dude ♥️♥️

Just made them. I've been trying to make perfect french fries at home for months now and this is by far the best method I've tried. So so good. Thank you!

WOW! This is the reason why I gave up making my own fries-- they always came out soft, soggy and not crispy at all. Thank you for this video. I can't wait to try this!

I would recommend actually using a wire rack to keep the fries crispy, if the fries are on a lined paper towel baking sheet they are just gonna be sitting in the oils and get soggy, if they are on the wire rack the oil will drip down and keep the fries crispy, great video!

Hello Ethan! I cannot thank you enough, for I tryed 4 times to fry French Fries using different techinques and guess what, ONLY your method took my soogy mashed potatos to a nicely golden, crunchy french fries! You are an amazing youtuber, a master chef and I hope that one day you will get way more attention for I will support you throughout this journey as much as I can. THANK YOU! :)

Ethan, would you consider trying a variation of this method? Boil the fries, but then coat them in corn starch or potato starch or a mix of both, shake off or brush off the excess, and then just fry them once until golden. There are videos on KZfaq of people making starch coated fries, and they are extra crispy without needing to double-fry. The boiling step should cook the potatoes through. Try it and see what you think of it.

You are amazing I've never cooked french fries properly. But recently I ate the best french fries I have ever eaten because of this video. I really hope u reach 100k soon

I recommend freezing them in between the frying, it crystallizes the inside, leading to more of a fluffy interior when finished

Super underrated channel fr. Not only do you teach the science behind different methods, you also make your recipes super home-cook friendly. I will be trying these French fries tomorrow!

I tried this and honestly it was the crispiest fries that I have ever tried and this is the first time I'm making fries. I love how you explained what the significance of each of the steps were.

For a man who hasn’t been trained, you do a amazing job in your research and film delivery

Started making these when I realized I only had 2/3rd bottle of canola oil left in my pantry... so in order to stretch it out, I used up the last bottom third of a jar of Duck Fat. What followed was probably the single best french fry I've ever eaten in my life.

Ethan I just want to say that your videos are amazing - never change! I stumbled onto your channel and am shocked that you don't have hella more views. I appreciate your business oriented channel as well. That line about "making the kind of tutorial videos I would have wanted" applies 1000x to the content you've created. A friend of mine and myself watched a few of your recipes last night and were blown away by how thorough and succinct they are. You are a magnificent teacher and I have learned a lot! I will be throwing this channel at all of my friends until you're mad popular and stupid rich, best of luck mate!

Only time I've ever heard a real specific reason for parboiling. Makes perfect sense.

I've been making fries at home for years with mixed results. I always thought I needed better potatoes or something. But I made these tonight and was blown away. Can't wait for the next mussels and fries night!!

OMG I just did it. I followed every single steps given and the result is fantastic, much much much better than frozen fries bought from supermarket. It's crispy on the outside & soft and full on the inside. Adding some spices (my little tweak) like cayenne pepper and paprika powder makes it even more epic.

I made these for the first time today with burgers for 4th of July for my mother and grandparents and they loved them! I think I could've done even better if I wasn't rushing. Can't wait to try them again!

Hey Ethan, I used this recipe to make French fries and trust me, they were amazing. Super crunchy texture on the outside and soft on the inside. Just like the ones you get at any big fast food chains, if not better. I added my own twist to it by sprinkling some garlic powder over it and they tasted even better (personal opinion). Thanks for the research and recipe man. Love from India

It's so awesome that you explain everything in depth sometimes 😁 love your recipes!

I really enjoy the scientific approach here Ethan! Your breakdown of it all is super clear and easy to understand. Great job!

Made them a few times. My god were these my favorite fries ever. Crispy yet fluffy. 12/10

Probably one of the best YT channels to learn how to make tasty stuff.

Forget whatever you were going to have for your next meal; these are fucking incredible. The simple, thoughtful tips really translate to a much better fry experience. They taste great and have the perfect texture, and since they're boiled first, you can fry them to your desired crispiness level without worrying about undercooking them.

When I was a small child, the baby sitter who was an elderly lady used to make for me those fries. I never knew how much effort it took to make them. I'm a new subscriber to your channel and I appreciate your content. Stay safe.

Very informative. I'm going to try this!

I usually don't comment on recipe videos but I made these and they turned out absolutely amazing. Would reccomend. 10/10 would make again.

Wow- just made these fries. Used 1/2 avocado oil and 1/2 coconut oil since I had no lard. Also, only let the fries rest for maybe 5-10 minutes before I fried for the second time. Turned out amazing & crispy. Best home fries I’ve had. 🎉

Thanks! Just tried this deal. OMG! Best fries I've ever had. Used Canola oil because I couldn't find peanut oil in a reasonable size. I also used distilled white vinegar because you didn't specify which type. Worked like a charm!

Thank you so much for this video. I have been practicing this technique a few times over the year and finally cooked my masterpiece. I was able to hand crinkle cut 5lbs of potatoes and follow all of these steps to please a crowd of 13 people. All of the prep to the 1 minute par fry and freezing overnight for the final fry in my large turkey fryer outside lead to the best fries any one at the party ever had. Thank you again so much for sharing this video.

0:55 Did you just pronounce that "Baggle"? The study group would like a word with you

Once again, the fries came out amazingly, no splashing, no burning, barely any cleaning to do. Those recipes are pure gold!

Thanks for the informative video. I never fry with oil because I don’t know what to do with it when I am done. Thanks for showing how to save the oil for another use. When it comes time to ultimately dispose of the oil, how do you do that?

Hubby and I just finished the half kg of potato I cooked with ur recipe. The 2nd fry tasted half-cooked to us. And I'm glad I 3rd fried it coz it tasted excellent! I cooked it til it turned almost translucent, just how we wanted it to be. Crispness and taste is perfect! Thank you so much for sharing your recipe 💕🍟

I absolutely love to refry fries when they're cold.

Thanks a lot for your excellent recipe. I knew about boiling them first but didn't know about the vinegar which made a huge difference. I dried them and put a portion in a freezer bag and in the freezer. They tasted crispy & fantastic with only one time frying.

Are these the world's most crispy fries? Let's find out

I come back to this video years later because it’s by far the best French fry “how to” video out there imo.

I enjoy the approach of this channel content because it keeps it all informative in a way that I've noticed others can't do. Which is to say that I don't feel like it's not coming off as pretentious.

just tried this and followed all the steps exactly. It worked perfectly and my kitchen does not smell like a Long John Silvers or a county fair or whatever. Excellent method, 10/10. Would make again!

When you gave the granny smith apple in a pie analogy, it was like the cooking clouds parted and I understood everything

I can't cook much, but I tried making them that way and they turned out pretty great. thanks mate

HOLY MOLY!! This is THE method for the BEST Fries ever!!! Thank You Ethan

Used this recipe tonight. Worked perfectly! They were crispy even when they cooled down. Thank you!

So is nobody gonna talk about his magnificent mustache?

Recipe for 6 russet potatoes, cut into 4 inch fries-> 3:15 Boiling fried: 30 ml white vinegar per 2 liters of water 10 min cooking time, stir occasionally . 400F peanut oil

Interesting you don't do the blanch fry at a low temp, but high for short period of time. Thanks for all you do Ethan. I've really upped my game watching you, Kenji and Brian L.

I've just done these and they came out perfect for cajun seasoned fries. What caught me by surprise was how the fries did NOT go stale when left out on a plate for an hour. Unlike fastfood fries, which go stale very quickly if not eaten within minutes of being served.

I am glad you see your growth. you do proper work man. You are totally my cooking style!

I tried, you get really crispy fries, in fact they stay crispy forever (at least 12 hours) unless you let them steam together. For people who don't have thermometer: 1. boil at 7 (out of 10). 2. Fry at 10 (out of 10), both times.

Best fry tutorial. Everyone else wants me to soak overnight when I want fries TODAY

These were awesome, everyone liked them. I used a 1/2" cut and my fryer only goes to 375 so I had to add a few minutes. I turned my fryer up to max temp and waited for the heating light to go out before I dropped a batch in.

Me : cooking is an art This youtuber : cooking is a science

GREAT RECIPE!!! I just tried it myself after couple suggy tries. Not super-crispy like I expected (maybe should have keep them in the oil little longer) but they are really good. And, to my surprise, this vinegar trick makes HUGE difference. Thank you!!

I'm pretty sure you're gonna hit the big time; this channel is awesome. Thanks for these vids!

Tried many different methods , but this one is by far most accurate to get your fries done and reasoning at beginning of the video abt how & why’s are bang on

I made these last night only after I realized that I didn't have frozen fries. Since it was last minute, I boiled the potatoes for 5 mins and omitted the 30 minute rest between blanching and 2nd fry. These potatoes were the BEST home fries I've ever made and will be the only way I make fries. THANK YOU!!!!

_After a couple of tries, I've found that a 5 minute par-boil will give you the same exact results as 8 or 9 minutes without worry of your potatoes turning to mush._ 10 minutes was too much time. The smaller fries started to turn.

I love that your pan has burn marks on it and looks like it's actually been used

I don’t make fries often but when I do, this is now the only way I’ll ever cook them.

I know some people don"t like ketchup. So for these people i have an alternative for the saracha sauce. 1 part mayo 1 part mustard and saracha sauce to your taste you can also put chives or granulated garlic if u like garlic. ( i actually made this sauce several times and its really good)

This is a superb educational video, wish you had been around to teach my classes when I was in Culinary school 35 years ago, frankly you would have been better than every one of my instructors.

I tried this, it worked perfectly. Great recipe

Loved the explanation of the process and the 'why' behind the method - thank you for sharing!

the quality of these videos is incredible. keep it up man, im sure you will make it up there

I made these tonight. Didn’t even follow the recipe exactly but it was enough to make -awesome- crispy fries. Thank you for sharing!!

This guy is going places! I’m impressed with the details and direction. Great content :D

Best fries I've ever had in my life. I shallow fried them in olive oil and they turned out perfectly

This is the first video that made me truly understand how the fries become crispy. So inspiring.

Fantastic recipe. I even hurried these along because why would I give myself enough time. I need french fries STAT!

I saw where one guy coated them in cornstarch for the 2nd fry. I think it was the 2nd fry. Looks good, btw.

This guy gets it. Contrast in texture is what makes a good French fry.

This was a great video. I love the brand you are building for yourself. Could you make a video on how to make Kombucha?

The french fry stall I go to occasionally hasn't been here for a while, so now I am making this to satisfy my period cravings. Thank you for such an informative video!

Me and my dad just tried this method, and the fries came out just perfect. We cut our fries a little thinner, but they were just as good as regular size fries. Plus, more is better. Thanks for this tutorial, man!

Two questions: What type of vinegar do you use and how long should the fries be in the freezer?

Awesome video. One extra step that I found that the majority of ppl that I make these fries for love is...using fine sea salt and a sprinkle of Goya Adobo all purpose seasoning with cumin! Sometimes coriander or saffron but the one with cumin gets the most praise. Cheers

Every time I watch a new video I wonder why this guy doesn't have hundreds of thousands of subs. I hope this one gets you closer.

who would have thought vinegar, but yes.... works great, thanks for posting this!

i always put ketchap mayo and siracha and everyone says im disgusting for mixing but im glad to see others doing it

Made these today. My husband APPROVES. Thank you Ethan!

I’m a 10 year old I was wondering what to eat and I found this good recipe!

This is legit how we do it in professional kitchen, if twice cooking we do the "Blanch" before hand and like eithan said freeze and cook to order, or if triple cooking we do all steps here and freeze or store in fridge adn fry one more for extreme crunchy fries

Great content man keep it up

Really beautifully explained!! Thank you so much, will definitely try this!

Thank you for explaining everything, best French fries video.

This was the only recipe that worked for the resolution i wanted! Easy to follow as well, will bookmark the recipe on the site :D

Hadn’t seen anyone else say to boil them in the vinegar water and they turned out the best! I have been doing the same process with chips for the longest time. Boiling them like the chips had been a thought of mine for quite some time just never did do it. Enjoyed every bite of these!

I tried this today and these are for real the best fries i have ever eaten!!!!! Absolutely recommended for everybody!!!

I have never seen a video so perfectly explained with scientific facts and process. This is what i call a modern day cooking technique.Awesome bro. If possible make a video for those who wana eat fries but also dont wana go away from their diet plan( probably something with the help of air fryer or baking). And u got a sub❤

Very good technique, I just made them today. I used avocado oil and they were great. I think one caution is to only take them to light golden, I let a few stay in oil beyond 4.5 minutes, just to experiment, and they were dry and had almost hollowed interiors. Delicious.

I'm making them right now. My man is a good teacher.

Superb! Thanks for mentioning freezing post stage-2.

Fries tasty. Never knew about the boiling trick until now.

We make Hoss sauce - Equal parts ranch dressing and Frank's Red Hot sauce. New sub...

Thanks for showing us this. We are planning to cook everything at home now. And this will help us be able to make the fries that we never could before.

Give this technique a try today. Best fries ever. Keep it up. Enjoy your videos always.

My mom made this and I'm eating right now. These are awesome. Thank you sooo much.

This is my go to recipe now. Everyone loves these. Thanks!
