Made as directed, with the exception that I didn’t have Onion Salt, so I used Onion Powder and added salt to the fries at the end. I have a deep fryer, so I fried them in that for 6 minutes each batch and they were perfect! Would definitely make these again!
Used red potatoes and cooked 7 mins per batch. Came out nice, crispy and flavorful
They Were The BOMB
these are awesome taste like five guys burger and fries only the thing is they clump but still awesome
ok
my son made them they were delesios
Omg omg these are to die for! I followed the instructions plus the advice in the comments. Added a lot more salt and parboiled the potatoes for a few minutes. As I only had a small pot I had to fry in several stages leaving the first batches soggy so I double fried them. Perfect!!!
great
i love it
She was right about the batter sticking. What a mess. Taste was okay.
Really good! I added some cayenne Pepper to it as well.
It was nice, crispy, and tender
These were really good. The only drawback would be is you need to be prepared to take a long time to cook these because you literally have to cook them like 1 at a time or they clump badly. 20 minutes we only had about 10 french fries which unfortunately our burgers were done so then we just gave up & let them clump. We just served on 1 plate & let everyone break up clumps. I did marinate my slices potatoes in worscterschire, Greek seasoning & all season salt then removed the fries and put them in freezer bags to chill for a few hours before fry time. They were crispy h delicious!!
Nice and crispy! Will do again.
These fries were so VERY AWESOME!!!!
Woohoooo!! I am the french fry hero of my family! This recipe solves the soggy homemade fry problem. My family said these were probably the best fries they have ever had. Fries stay crispy for a long time and also retain heat very well. Put them in an oven at low temp (~170 deg) and they are perfect for at least an hour. Seasoning is just right. You can play with the spices to get bolder flavors but the basic recipe is spot on. One tip: keep a small amount of the dry mix to add in near the end. The batter tends to get runny from the water on the fries and a little dry mix will thicken it some. It is a little more work than just homemade fries, but very much worth it.
They were super greasy and took forever and honestly had no flavor even after using almost all the salt in the house. And then when you salted them after frying they seemed too salty. Such a waste. I just left most my fries plain and fried them, then a little salt and pepper, those were wonderful. I would not waste your time. I am super bummed because allrecipes.com is my go to recipe site. They should remove this one.
I made the recipe just like it said but used my fryer. I dropped the fries in one at a time but then stirred around after a few seconds and they didn’t stick together. It’s messy and takes a while but they are delicious!! I also used 1 cup of beer and a little water.
Yum! It takes quite a bit more water to get to proper consistency, just a heads up
Followed as written. I am in love with this recipe and it is now my go to fry recipe!
This was a very easy recipe. I started out dipping the fries in the batter, then had the idea to use the leftover batter for a crispy chicken patty in a sandwich. Everything turned out tasting very good (both fries & chicken patty) and no batter was wasted.
