Re: Potatoes.
That's the way my momma always does them. Twice fried for goodness! She's originally from Germany and calls it something else though. But in any language, the results are delicious!


Re: Applebees.
There are things I like at applebees.

Oddly I actually like their sauceless dry rub ribs ( don't recall the actual name of them ). Not a fan of any of the other ones they have though. Been several years since I ate them though.

There are a few things I like there, though I have to say I end up with a burger a lot of times (the Brewtus burger is pretty darn good). My wife likes Applebee's so we're there a handful of times a year (maybe 10). Their Bourbon Street Steak used to be awesome, but either they changed the way they do it, or I developed a more discerning palate. Probably a combination.

Also, for Fries, my wife makes some great ones. We have a deep fryer, but she refuses to use it (or let me) any more...something about my sky-high cholesterol, and not wanting me to die - why do broads have to be so unreasonable?

What she does is put the fries in a ziplock with EVOO, cayenne, and paprika, and makes sure she gets them all covered real proper-like. Then puts them under the broiler for I don't know how long, and they come out delicious. They don't taste fried, really, but pretty dang close if you ask me, and the paprika and cayenne is awesome. I usually add some salt and pepper at the table, and I'm good to go!

i think i'm going to your guys way of double frying. I've never done the first frying at a low temp. But i've double fry'd/blanched/frozen trying to get the perfect fry...

I want to correct this folks....must have had one of them brain farts or somethin...first fry should be 325-330 degrees...NOT 340

Sorry if I misled anybody.
