fries to me: potatoes, salt, hot oil
fries to erwan: potatoes, soak overnight, steam, boil, alkaline water, freeze, fridge, frozen, hot oil, peanut oil, refried, leathery, mushy, creamy, social distancing
Social distancing....interesting😍
That's why it is called "the perfect fries"..
erwan ang gwapo.. bagay kayo ni anne 👍👍👍👍 kahit milion na subscribers mo napa subscribes parin ako yung mukha mo kc parang may gayuma hahah char..
ANGEL CRISOSTOMO are you talking to ace nylie??
Wow
When he hears cries at 7:08 then immediately say "Coming, Dahlia" so sweet
Soo cuteeee 😍😍😍🤗🤗
You could littaraly hear 10.000 ovaries scream... 😏😂😂
15 years later: Daughter vs Father Cook Off and Anne will be the Judge. 😍❤
Stan_SB19 Eh haha true!!!!! Maybe for now it’ll be Erwan vs Anne and baby girl will be the judge 😂😂
Yesssssssssss
Shokogeku?anime?
Erwan! Can I also do this to sweet potatoes?
When Erwan is cooking or baking, it’s seems like a professor that explaining mathematical formula in a class hahahhaha
Try watching "Alex" in youtube way more serious in cooking. He is a french dude.
Hahahahahaha
I know, right? HAHAHHAHAHAH
As an engineer who kinda likes cooking, this is the first time I 'thumbs up' a tutorial, more likely, food engineering.
Who cares if it took more than 14 minutes for a single video dedicated to French fries? Your videos are never boring and are so entertaining to watch. Very informative and full of useful insight. Thanks a lot for going over the extra mile for us to be able to cook the best fries at home. I'm gonna go and get some potatoes and will try this for myself.
Edit: I made the fries exactly as you said. Boiling in alkaline water really made the texture better. The potatoes kept their shape and was less mushy. And yes, I fried them and put them in the freezer altogether; they didn't stick to each other. Fried them twice in the morning and got the perfect texture!
Exterior is really crunchy but it's creamy inside.
I seasoned them lightly with salt but it's also good on its own. My son was asleep during the morning so he ate his fries around dinner time and they're still crunchy! No way I'll buy frozen fries and fastfood ones which get soggy easily ever again. Thanks for going through the trouble of finding out the the BEST quality of homemade fries for us, Erwan.
Do you think the same method will work for homemade potato chips?
the level of how serious erwan is with fries:
takes a paper and a marker
edit: -whiteboard-
omegabad really
The handwriting says you're a genius.
TheBlockStreet thank you for that, omegabad must be a typical negative person only can see the error of other instead of the positive
pointing out a fault does not determine whether or not he is a pessimist
Try watching "Alex" in youtube he is a french dude is way more serious in cooking more than ever
Me after watching this..
Jollibee crew: hi maam can i take your order?
Me: i want a large fries that was boiled in alkaline water then froze for 24hours then fried at 260degrees then frozed separately then fried again at a high temperature.. and that is TO GO dear.. 😘😘😘
OMG!! i can really imagine myself slapped by the manager! 😂😂😂😂😂
Miko Timkang parang pahabaan lang ng order sa starbucks 🤣🤣
🙄🤪🤪😂😂😂😂
HAHAHAHAHAA LEGIT LAUGH
😂😂😂😂🤣🤣
Hahahahaha 🤣
why do I love Erwan?
because he is always do research on the product/dish that he is about to cook. YEEEES 👏
The effort you’ve put into this is just amazing. Thank you for the information. ❤️
Quarantine be like to me: Cook and cook and cook look for recipes in youtube, facebook and other sources and definitely will try this one again. Another amazing video from erwan :)
thanks for watching!
You deserved a comment with a ❤❤❤. Hardworking, setting up those lights and camera to come up with inspiring and knowledgable content. 💯
I'm so happy you shared the Winning Formula at 13:49. Was holding on to every bit of your notes there LOL. Thank you, as always, for doing all the hard work for us!
"Once done, take them out and let them dry with some social distancing"
-Erwan,2020
😂😂😂
Wow sarap po
My fave!!! LOLOL
I love how you put an effort in every food you eat and tryna to find out what's the best process of cooking/making them. You're good but you get better everyday. Keep it up 💯
when you're sad and hungry, just watched erwan's video being so detailed on his craft. ohh so satisfying 😁
cant wait for the father and daughter's kitchen bonding after few years 😁
Hi Erwan! Hope this helps. 😁 You have 2 categories for the fries. The Fluff and the Crisp. Here's why the boiled first fries were better. Potatoes have starch you're right! So when you boil starch, the molecules "swell up" and absorb water, thus the fluff category. Now the oil dries up the water, then caramelizes it and creates "air pockets" that crisp up the fries
Thanks for the French Fries experiment 😊
Erwan is so passionate about his interests. I'm actually inspired.
Erwan: Makes really good fries in the matter of minutes
Me: Struggling to peel the potato
relatable
Haha
Jaja😊
Hi Erwan, i tried out your method for the fries, i boiled them in alkaline water for 10 min, let them cool down. Then i fried them at low temp for 8 min. then i let them cool down again. Then i put them in the freezer until next day. Took them out of the freezer and fried them at high temperature for around 3 min, and they turned out so so goooooood. Same or maybe even a little better than in the restaurant. But a lot of work ;-) Thx for sharing m8
Best french fry video ever. This is the kind of coming video i look for: concise comparison of techniques and results, leading to something i can practically use.
Hope to see more.
You have no idea how much comfort I have been getting by simply watching, understanding your master piece (Videos). Thank you Sir
I see FRENCH FRIES, I click and got hungry watching
1. Boiled for 10mins in alkaline water
2. Freeze
3. Option A - Fry twice @ 260*c
Option B - straight Freeze Individually
OR
1. Boil in alkaline water
2. Fry @ 260*c
3. Freeze
4. The Next day, Fry @ 375F*
Erwan,
you putting so much effort on this makes me appreciate fries in different restaurants.
you’ve been busy with Dahlia but still managed to share this to us.. Thank you 🥰.
Give Ann and Dahlia a warm hug for me.
I have been Ann’s fan ever since and even just watched her movies and shows when i was pregnant with my second daughter.
My daughter didn’t look like her(hahaha) but still just so beautiful 😉
Now, Im also a FAN of yours looking at more updates on new recipes.. Cooking is ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You guys keep safe and enjoy time together while baby is still a baby. ❤️❤️❤️
Can we also have different ways to eat fries? I want to know different recipes.
Ex:Cheesy Fries, cheesy garlic fries, cheesy-bacon fries and etc.
PLEASE MAKE THIS HAPPEN!
Is it just me who thinks that his diction is relaxing? The good cooking stuff is an added delight.
I do oil blanching, dunno if that is the right term. Then, I put some cornstarch and freeze it. The cook it again in oil. Just saw from other yt videos.
But this, woooohhhh. So much passion. You're so awesome Erwan! 😊
Sakto to ngayong quarantine🤤
Belgium European people loves to eat fries and different kinds of cooking potatoes like mashed potatoes , Crocketten and others because here in Belgium Europe they dont eat much rice...when i cook here at home i like fresh potatoes for fries and easy for me to cook...thanks for sharing watching Belgium Europe here
I’ve been wanting to do homemade fries for weeks! Thanks for the video, Erwan!
Why does this dude sound like he's judging houses and not fries lol, if I was just listening on this video I would probably think he's reviewing real estate lol
Puffy?
Thank you Erwan! I made the saline water fries and kimchi after watching your videos. You've helped me grow in my cooking skills. God bless you 🙏
this method gave me the best results yet ,i tried making them before but the exterior would always come out leathery, i also tried freezing them after the first fry but it took lot longer to crisp up and made the fries oily in the process, this was the most informative video i could find yet thanks for the video.
I tried it, boiled with alkaline water for 10min, dried, fried for 15 min at low heat, freeze overnight and refried. The taste was really good. I don't cook often and I even surprised by myself. Thanks ;)
0:44 that's the real pronunciation of the word. Kuya Erwan, ang cute mo talaga!!!
I will peel, poke holes in my potatoes, cover and microwave them for a couple of minutes until they’re BARELY done, then chop them, straight up fry them, take them out, coat them in a mix of cornstarch, baking soda, and Cajun seasoning and then fry them again and it is FAST and tastes so good 👌
You are so patient and so serious in cooking fries. Experimenting on fries? I learned a lot! Your great!
if you notice this, i'm gonna do all the chores here in our house ♡
guess you have to do chores now
You two are the perfect match. LMAO
Juaymah Maureen Fajardo yan na nga kailangan mo din yan hahahaha
With matching videos of course lol!
hahahhaa
It helps to show when deciding on the final recipe/method to show the actions like cooking in alkaline water then freezing etc etc as well to better understand the full method.
"Making Perfect" from BA vibess! Love it
I legit admire Erwan’s dedication!
Thank you for this!
Best thing to do while in quarantine is to watch and learn from you sir Erwan!
We do the same technique in the Netherlands! Only, we fry it with sunflower oil or soya oil. And then I use beef broth powder instead of salt. And here we dip it in peanut sauce, mayonaise with chopped onions!
So smart of you Erwan! Thanks for sharing ❤️
I watched it 5times and then press download...
Ur the best f.fries maker...
Why do i keep on watching his videos every midnight 😩 I always crave the food his cooking!!! #fangirling
A detailed video about FRIES! Loving this ❤️
Tried the one boiled in alkaline water (used baking soda) and freezing it. By far the best fries ever!
The ending method that you described is how almost ALL french fries are mass produced in factories.
I make fries a lot at home. The step that I am going to add is the alkaline boil step... i never considered that part.
Cut fries in french fry cutter, 7 potatoes 1/4 in.
Soak in ice water salt bath for 3 hours, about 1/2 cup salt and several cups of ice on top to hold the fries under the water.
Bring large pot to boil add the baking soda for 4 mins or so. (the step i plan to add)
Dry off and low temp fry 275 Degrees for 4-5 mins.
1/2 baking sheet and lay the fries out in a single layer, add parchment and make a second layer.
place in freezer for overnight and then transfer to a large plastic bag
When I cook them, i fry them between 4-7 mins, depending on how many i cook in a batch.
Yayy! Thanks, Erwan! You make quarantine bearable.
7:10
Dahlia: so noisy dady
Erwan: coming dahlia
😍 hope you notice this po
I love how it made me feel that cooking fries is synonymous to aerospace engineering. 🤣
I really appreciate the effort in trying different techniques. Hope to see more of your videos!
I loooovveee you videos so much! The contents are not just purely cooking but you also do little experiments about food! Helps a lot :))
Best option, buy a packet of pre-fried french fries and fry directly from the freezer.
You were not kidding when you said it needs a separate video. That was a journey in itself 😅
I have never appreciated my local takeaways until after this🤦♀️😂😂
risty ryder I couldn't agree more. He lost me with all the temperature you have to watch out for. I guess I'd be better of buying like you 🤣😅
Erwan is not just good in cooking,,, he's a genius! 🤯
My favorite french fries recipe is Chrissy Teigen’s salt and vinegar fries - basically just add a cup of white vinegar and a generous amount of salt in your boiling water.
Loved how everything got paused when he heard his daughter crying.
‘Coming, Dahlia’. Awe.
you're the cutest, like, a 14 min video testing and talking about fries?????
that glow in your face and the happiness of being a father❤
Wow!!
I thot baking my own bread was alot of work!
And I lost count how many variables you controlled for here.
Just... 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Erwan: peel potato perfectly
Me: peeling potato and boom* nothing left
HAHAHHAHAHAHA
True though
One of the best recipe for quarantine! Thank you!
Perfect potato fries are more complicated than my lovelife.
Really love your cooking method of frieeees 💗
Guys you shoud try this its worth it and it taste so good. I was surprised that it wasso crispy 🙌🏼
I’m a food scientist graduate and here’s an explanation of fries:
The higher starch content of the potato, the crispier the exterior and fluffier the interior.
Cut also matters, the greater the surface area the greater the exterior contact with the oil, thus the crispier the fries.
For brining process, adding salt to water causes osmosis reaction. Where water moves from low concentration to high concentration. This will help in texture, flavor and moisture retention. At this point you can add additional flavors that you want your fries to incorporate. You can also add vinegar to help with pectin retention.
Pectin that is present in potatoes helps the potatoes keeps its form while cooking. As for cooking method you can try cold oil method where you start frying your fries in cold oil. Pectin breaks down at 170 degrees Fahrenheit so it keeps the potato intact. Do this is if you want to eat your fries right away after brining.
The precooking process like boiling allows some sugars to be wash away. Thus reducing the chance of burning. Initial frying after boiling removes moisture and allows the starch granules to go into gelatinization process, this is where you get the fluffy part of the fries. Freezing the potato’s after initial frying will convert leftover water into ice crystals which will then evaporate and convert into steam after the final fry. Which will create a more fluffier interior of the fries. As for final frying, the high heat will cause Millard reaction. Which gives the fries the golden brown color and the the crispy exterior we all want.
Fun hack as well that food industries do with fried food to make food crispier and retain its crispy texture for a longer period of time is to soak it in citric acid solution.
What I saw from other videos regarding how to make crispy fries ,its really important re frying them . I love the way you explain and how detailed it was :) ... I agree that its also good to know the different types of potatoes 🤩 👍
would love a video on different fries recipes like poutine, cheesy bacon fries, etc etc
Thanks dude! You know your fries, followed your alkaline boil, freeze overnight and fried the next day - best fries we've had at home 👌
Wow. I didnt know how complicated it is to make the perfect french fries. Kudos to you for studying how to 👌🏼
The French guy fries the frickin' best french fries.
When I cooked potato fries, my heart was crying because it's not perfect but now I have to watch this so I can make good one. Thanks Erwan😊
Potato!!! French fries is ❤️🍟
It’s 8:30 again NZT and time to watch Erwan’s video 😊
One of the best content on youtube
Erwan put so much work on his content and I admire that. Love watching all his video❤️
Not skipping ads just because i like erwan! Lol
He really is from TASTY. Trying everything to find out the perfect recipe. Good job!
I came back after trying erwan’s last method. Boil and cool and cook them and then cool and cook. It’s a long process but it’s worth it :)
potato episode has always been the best eps...
Everytime I watched Erwan's cooking, I immediately want to try all the recipes or techniques 😅
Yaaaay! You put so much science, process and effort in making fries😆😍❤
I tried the fries that boiled in alkaline water then fried then freezed! And the result was awesome!!! My friends and my family love it, it taste like MCDO hehe thank you so much erwan 😊🥰
i never knew until now that there are lot of ways to fry french fries.thanks erwan.
It seems like I am the only one who noticed that "R" is missing. Maybe "R" is very sad right now since Erwan forgot to put it. 00:45
Erwan he is not ordinary a vlogger he is proffesional chef.he know how to differentiate they cooked.
Wow tsarap...thanks po sir erwan...my idea na ako😋😋😋
Waaa just in time, here in Canada they said we have too much supply of potatoes because restaurant/fastfood chains are close they dont order as much potato like before but we have lots in the farms so for sure potato price will go down this month. Thanks for the tips! Always so informative 👍🏼👌🏼
Now this is the video i've been looking for to make a really good home made fries!
Funny how I think all fries are cooked the same way and here's Erwan showing different methods to make it. Well, I think it taste the same. Btw, I love your voice Erwan . 😍
Thanks for this!!! Also excited for the next Sibling Cookoff if ever there's gonna be a new ep of it!! 😍
I have baking soda, good, let's make some fries. Love your video, so much effort in there.
