Hello 馃檪聽 and how was everyone鈥檚 weekend?聽 I do hope that everyone had a lovely one 馃檪聽 Let鈥檚 talk聽 a bit about French Fries, the Dutch do love their fries, and toppings, from Mayo to Curry to well let鈥檚 say they even have a Peanut Butter type of sauce which I tried when I first came here and really was not a fan of it.聽 The Dutch deep fry the potatoes twice, making them have an even crispier texture than just frying them the way do at home.聽 The last time I actually bought fries from a stand was about 2 years ago..a very very long time. 馃檪
This weekend鈥檚 meal plan had to be very very simple, just a couple of salads, along with omelettes and fries. We were painting one of the hallway鈥檚 and it took more time than expected and so cooking needed to be simple.聽I sometimes make different shapes when making French Fries because I just like trying out new things. Some of the shapes are聽 round, moon, donut shaped. 馃檪聽 Yep, donut shaped with a hole in the middle.聽 馃檪
I made just a small portion for my husband because I did my cheating from my diet on Friday. The only thing I added to these fries were Oregano and Salt, this gave the fries a more Greek traditional taste, rather than topping them off with Mayo or Ketchup.聽 But when the fries were ready and I served them I saw that he separated the fries in half, topping the other have with Mayo and Ketchup!!! hahahaha聽 There is also one more thing about these fries that I would like to mention, they could not get any crispier!!!!
