Yikes, just spent over an hour making fries. I soaked the potatoes, then
pre cooked in 325 for several minutes. Rested the fries -and me - for
about 30 minutes.

I have a Tfall deep fryer - about 3 years new. It took a heck of a long
time to cook the fries. I'm wondering if different deep fryers heat the
oil quicker and make this whole process faster.

If so, I'd like one!

Did you raise the temp. for the second frying? I raise mine to about 375 F.
from 320 F.

Did you accidentally turn the thermostat down? I had a T-Fel and even
though I thought I had left it on high the heat adjustment slide had been
pushed to the far side.

So what happened after the initial 30 minutes? 3 years elapsed?

That *is* a long time to cook fries.

Tomorrow morning she'll be sober, but you'll still be
Steve Wertz. Who has the better deal? :-)

Steve's just [censored] of and depressed because he's stuck in Austin, Tx, and
doesn't live in the SF Bay area anymore. That's why he's plastered half the
time. Austin is OK from an airplane only.

That applies to pretty much anywhere East of the Rockies.

Would have thought you folks knew this!!!

Chips

1.. Add oil to a large heavy-bottomed pot (fill so oil comes ½ way up the
pot). Heat oil to 320 degrees F. Working in small batches, blanche the chips
until soft and cooked through but not browned, about 3 minutes. Make sure
oil returns to 320 degrees F between batches. Drain on paper towels and let
cool to room temperature.
2.. Heat oil to 375 degrees F. and fry chips again in small batches until
crisp and golden, about 1 to 2 minutes. Serve with fish and dip chips in hot
curry sauce and garlic mayo. Cooking the chips twice will ensure they are
golden brown and crispy on the outside.

I'd rather be in Austin that in those dry, desolate hills you call
Hayward. "Welcome to Hayward - The Stockton of the East Bay".

My deep fryer has no temp control.

It's either on or off.

Works great as long as I don't overload it.

Putting too much in at once cools the oil down too quickly.

I raised it as far as it would go. Perhaps I put too much in though - I had
a lot of fries!

Patience is the key! Don't add too much food at a time and you will get
better results...

Like I said, too much food added at once cools the oil down and not only
will it increase cooking time, you don't get stuff as crispy, and it
will be a LOT more greasy!

Remember, hot and fast! Same as a good skillet for steak!
