WTF? Frying them twice is what makes them crispy. It's just basic molecular cuisine. images/smilies/tongue.gif

100% of the freshly made fries in Belgium is fried twice. If you do it only once, you end up with weak and floppy fries that aren't cooked proprely on the inside.

Depends upon the variety of potato you choose to chip, with high moisture content you can get away with cooking only once, but I will agree with you the double cook works bloody well, its just not the normal way for us to cook them is only once.

Alton Brown did a whole show on the potato, it was pretty cool. I had no idea there were such variations in starch and sugar content. I'm sure the type of potato makes a huge difference.

It always touches me when people do something like that. And my grandfather was there, too. Just on the other side.

And now I want some fries.
