This is what they looked like...sort of...this one broke...the other ones went in a total circle...I think this was the short potato and didn't have enough stretch.

I put a dollop of cheese dip in the center....yummy

Jeff traded me a half of a chocolate bar for this one...he could smell it cooking upstairs..lol

Freezing french fries question
Q
Comments (13)
Hey, I actually know the answer to this one -- my mother used to do a lot of these for the freezer when I was little, and she always waited a while after they were dug before processing them -- I remember this as being a fall activity, something she tried to do after Halloween but before the holidays hit. Of course, with a house full of kids, we used a lot of french fries, hash browns, etc back then. Now, times and diet have changed, and I hardly ever have a french fry, most potatos are eaten either baked or boiled or in other dishes. The main reason for waiting a month is that freshly dug potatos have a higher moisture content, which results in a lot more danger of bubbling up when they hit the hot oil, and also causes them to not brown as well. A month of storage results in them losing a fairly significant amount of stored moisture under appropriate storage conditions. You can, of course, fry them right out of the ground, but they are better if you hold off a while.

LOOKING for: French Fried Potatoes

Peel--or just wash, cut and parboil potatoes for about 10 minutes. Then lay them out on a tray to dry. This cuts down on cooking time and makes sure they are cooked right through. This can be done the day before or just before as long as the potatoes are dry to go in the oil. Once they are dry you can pack them in airtight plastic bags, refrigerate, and use them the next day. The oil should be at 350 degrees.

Curly Fries are a kind of french fry characterized by their unique spring-like shape. They are generally made from whole potatoes that are cut using a specialised spiral slicer.

Curly Fries can be found across the globe. Sometimes they are packaged for preparation at home, often in frozen packs. They can also be found at a number of restaurants and fast food outlets. They are most often served with cups of dipping cheese, although other condiments, such as ketchup, may be served with curly fries.

We buy them at the flea market here,,,only they're on a stick.Sometimes we just go there to eat...hotdogs with bacon wrapped around them and a potato on a stick...2 bucks for the whole meal! LOL! We love them.Try them with hot sauce on...yum! And of course a Coke to wash it down.I bet the lady that owns that stand makes a fortune every week end....she's ALWAYS packed.Always have to wait in line.

I have an apple peeler/corer and plan on making these potatoes soon.....well, maybe after DH's visit to the cardiologist.
I like how you made them in a circle. You are so clever!

Carol...you turn them in the circle and hook the ends together before you cook them....

I should have let it get a little browner...but I was in a hurry to get the pic...I was tired, my feet were killing me and I was ready to set down. Also...I peeled it first, then disengaged the peeler on my Apple peeler...(I did that because the potatoes we are getting around here have bad peelings...) Choose a long potato so it will make a full circle...

Serve em on Halloween and put a little stem in the center,maybe a leaf and piece of curled vine...they'd look like little pumpkins..
