Perfect pomme frites!

[wmontanez]

I have been tasting many potatoes as french fries but I guess I was not using the best method to create the perfect french fry. In my quest to learn how to make Tonkotsu ramen (not related I know!) I stumbled across this website that had a recipe that resemble the ones I had in Japan. Lo and behold the guy also investigated how to make ultra crispy oven roasted potatoes and there it was! How to make pomme frites crispier. Secret is out: pre cooking in salted cool water with ACID (vinegar) added to it.

I made a batch of 5 different potatoes. It does works like a charm not only the frites were crispy outside, they stay crisp for long time, they were soft inside and best of all the color was perfect. I was suppose to double fry them but nah, once was good enough for this test. I having too much browning with the blues but now that I know the science behind it not anymore.
