Taters on sale, so I grabbed some Idaho's, washed 'em, and ran them through the French Fry press.



These will soak on ice water for a couple hours to reduce the starch. (There will be an inch of white goo on the bottom)

I'm going to set the ancient Dutch directly on the lump, put a gallon of peanut oil in it, and let it get up to 600º dome, I want that oil at least 400ºf.

That's the plan, when these are golden brown, I'll remove the Dutch to cool, set the grate on and grill up a few burgers I've got mixed with some dried onions, paprika, S&P, What'sthisheresauce, and garlic powder.

We'll have some sauteéd shrooms, pickles, lettuce, tomato. I like to make common stuff from scratch... made mustard two days ago... should be ripe enough by now. Ketchup is store bought, haven't made that yet.

I do have some home made mayo also. The pickles were garden cucumbers last summer.

    Make sure your homeowners and medical insurance are paid up.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Great Balls of Fire!!

    No, it was cool. The fries were cold, not frozen. A little oil spilled over and flared up, and nobody got hurt. Dumped the taters in at 370º

    The fries turned out golden brown, crispy, and reminded me of 5 Guys.
    You can see in this picture, a couple of greenish taters got picked too early.

    Burgers got on last, and the fries were cooling off, so I put them in the oven while the burgers finished.

    Rockwood never disappoints, except the UPS guy and rough handling broke the bag at the bottom, so it will be upside down for a few days until this bag is done.

    Looks great! Glad to hear it didn't go up in flames. I was visioning the frozen turkey dropped in a pot of oil.
    I thought the oil overspray would catch it on fire.

    It got to leaning a bit as one side of the lump burned down faster, but whatever spilled just flared quickly and died back down.

    I've done it a couple times now - won't ever buy fries again.
