I recently used King Teds - a floury potato, and found I had to cut them quite large as they shrunk a lot during cooking. I'm going to have a go at soaking them too - sounds interestingAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04869046413622276136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1254840745141911962.post-70893531996300188472012-10-25T09:29:04.786-04:002012-10-25T09:29:04.786-04:00Thank you for the testimonial!

I wanted proof that they are better :-) so I made two batches: one large one with the soaking method (I refreshed the water three times during that half an hour) and a small one with not soaked, not dried potatoes. <br />The difference is crispness was very remarkable. Beside that, some fries from the not-soaked batch sticked to the pan. The largest difference was here: while the soaked fries were evenly baked, the others got brown (caramalized) on the side that was touching the pan, whereas the top was still light colored. <br />I am convinced: soaking them works!

I tend to bring up the deep fryer though - need to change that!<br /><br />I smoked a beef brisket on Sunday - overcooked it - it was so pitiful I didn't even blog about it!<br /><br />But last nights flank steak?

They look incredible! I remember I used to soak mine in a salt water bath but that's cool if all I have to do is use plain water. I've also heard that baking them on a wire cooling rack above a baking sheet helps them crisp easier, which is another method I want to try.Veronica Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09925862917968332579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1254840745141911962.post-19591717695684514142012-03-17T01:15:08.640-04:002012-03-17T01:15:08.640-04:00I LOVE oven fries, but have never soaked them.

It snowed yesterday, but at least it didn't stick. Can't believe the other half of the country is in the 80's! Such weird weather.Marigoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10109785080000770963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1254840745141911962.post-15344228649272793702012-03-15T18:19:57.160-04:002012-03-15T18:19:57.160-04:00Interesting!
