Perfectly done french fries are better than twice baked potatoes or rice pilaf! How is this even a question?

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong!

French fries are just rebranded twice baked potatoes.

The gall you both have is nothing short of astounding. To challenge not only my expertise but also 5 decades of empirical evidence with rice pilaf. Sheesh...

Look you guys..... having lived in- Belgium and France for just short of 4 years, I don't mind teaching y'all a thing or two about French fries.
Let me know.... I'll school ya up.

In the meantime:
Most important thing to know is that they get dipped THREE times, in different temperatures. And horse grease is the real secret.

LN/Flat6 actually began experimenting with roller bearings before their single/dual row bearings were brought to market. They only developed the roller bearing product when distributors said they wanted a different price point distributed via a different channel.

There must be a dozen kits now available from many sources and price points. The good news is how few failures get posted to the forums though that may be for fear of getting flamed by that producers fanboys.

You need the right potatoes to make the best french fries too.

How can you possibly have a conversation about the quality of french fries without discussing the type of oil?

Easy there.... look below at my first post in- this thread.
Ok... I referred to "grease", which when heated becomes "oil". Oil type is INCREDIBLY important to fries.

When I was in the decision mode, I called LN to check on the re-use question. They confirmed it can be re-used which pushed me to the Solution.
