    Belgian fries: cut potatoes, pre-fry them at 150C until right before they start to become golden, then let them rest for a while until they're cooled off, increase heat to 180C, fry until golden. Add some salt, a scandalous helping of mayonaise, and dig in.
    Also, try our stoofvlees. It's a beef stew with a dark beer-based sauce.

      I fry them the first time around 5-8 minutes (they can’t change color yet!)
      then I let them rest for 30-60 minutes.
      And then I fry them the second time.
      The second time, I just look and listen..
      (The first time 150 btw, I’m sorry. Didn’t see the typo)

    French fries -> Made in Belgium. So a lot of ppl like to call it Belgian Fries.

  • @jentelombahe7673

    French fries were first made in the regions of Belgium but in that time Belgium was under the command of the French => French fries
    An other theory is that American and English soldiers thought (during WW1) that they were in France but they were actually in the French speaking part of Belgium.

      In Dutch we call it Vlaamse Frites "Flemmish Fries" because it comes from Vlaanderen (Flanders). They Speak Flemmish in Flanders, which is a type of Dutch.
