Respectful Old School Tip: Put down a thick layer of newspapers and cover with a single layer of paper towels for draining potatoes. Saves lots of time from having to blot Potatoes. Some folks may consider it unsanitary, but people have done this for many years. Between the freezer and frying, what “germ” can’t be killed? Love your technique!
Finally someone talking an explaining most of the videos are just watching people wasting my time as they show themselves peeling each potato. Thank you
i got a home version from amazo a fry cutter works good -had it for five years!! 30 bucks-just be smart with it an it will last! meaning dont force it dont try cut potato that dont fit
Make hash browns with the left over just cut smaller cook until it's El Dante remove then add a little corn flour and seasoning and a little water to make it be a little pasty shape like tater tots or a hash browns and freeze them for 45 mins before cooking the kids will love them.😊
My grandpa had a smaller version of that french fry thing it was so sweet how it worked. Your dad is such a blessing how he comes up with how he does things. My dad was like that too but now he's in heaven for many years now. It's so fun to see what you're doing with all your potatoes. I was given yesterday so potatoes from my sister 20 lbs but I think I'm going to can them again. Be blessed and hugs Amanda and family you're doing a great job
To blanch the potatoes in water is the English/French way. It has changed over the years, but if you blanch in oil, use lard, as the fries are easier to handle after freezing, as they stay more firm when thawed out !
@@georgiagardengirlshomestea1560 Try not to use risco. Ask your local butcher for pure lard ( rendered pig fat.) That's the best. The flavour of beef fat ( although nice!) is too strong for chips.
How do you cook these? I did some and when I deep fried them they didn't get brown they were like mush. Please let me know how to cook them to get them golden Brown
I'm gonna have to do a catch up day for you hun. For some reason I've not gotten a notification for you in EVER and I see you're still making videos. Errrrr RUclips! I unsubbed and resubbed today so maybe that'll help. Oh my goodness! What a great find on the fry cutter! That is so AWESOME!! I love this idea for freezing the homemade fries. I never even thought to do it this way. Great idea and time saver later when you just wanna get dinner done for that sweet baby girl. Thanks so much for sharing hun. Love, hugs and blessings ~Lisa
Hey Lisa! I'm so glad you found me again! :) Make sure the little bell is clicked too. Sometimes that helps.. Let me know if you try the freezer fries!
I really liked your way it was the same recipe I’ve heard of before but they put them in some oil and then put them on parchment paper. I like your idea better. Plus the other lady said only an hour in the freezer well that wasn’t even close to freezing I like your way better
Hi Amanda, another great video...when potatoes go on sale down here I’m going to put some up like this! One quick question-when you cook them do you fry them in oil or bake them? I buy frozen fries and usually bake them to cut down on fat although they in no way taste as good as home fries. I’m wondering if these would....🙂
We enjoy them baked but that's the only way I make them so I really couldn't compare techniques for you.. They're really yummy though! :) Sorry I couldn't be of more help..
Freedom Acres This is helpful to know! I was hoping you Baked them, not fried them, because it’s easier when I’m tired to just dump them on a cookie sheet and bake while I make a main dish of some kind. Thanks for always answering my questions! 😍
the little bits would make mash, either put in bag freeze as or mash then freeze you can freeze mash, in the UK we can buy it frozen. how about some unpeeled potato wedges, or peal cut into wedges then freeze for roast potatoes, but try with them in a bag just store as is main crop stories well. New or early potatoes not so well, but the main crop yes, buy them as you have may be the cheapest way of getting them, as there are so much more expensive veggies and flower you can grow in your garden some in greenhouses all year around. main crop potatoes grow very well commercial and at the right place, they are cheap.
What kind of potatoes do you use? A lady at the supermarket said Russet potatoes. They just don't taste right. I use vegetable oil in the deep frier. Also I have that same cutter and like that jig. I spend half my time chasing it on the counter. I need 4 hands. I dice green peppers and onion and stir them in the cuttings for Potatoes O'Brien in the morning.
CaptKeo it's a type of potato, you can get them wherever you get your seed potatoes, but word of warning they disappear quickly because they are so darn good!
Without going back and re-watching the video myself, I'm thinking we used season salt and garlic powder? Maybe paprika? It was almost a year ago.. Anything you use on fries would be good though! Welcome to Freedom Acres! :D
But maybe I forgot did you say anything about baking in the oven at 4:50 or 425 for 20 minutes I don’t like that because you got to turn them over or an air cooker he just bounce a pan up and down. Or deep fry them
it sure looks like you are getting a lot of help Amanda! lol We never made our own freezer fries so I will be interested in seeing how yours turn out. Phil
It was convenient for me. You can bag the potatoes as soon as they harden. The purpose is to keep them from sticking together in the freezer. ;) Hope that helps!

Thanks for the suggestion! I'd never thought of that! :D
The problem is not the germ, but the ink. Back then, we had fried peanuts on newspapers too, but we have improve our standard today.
Finally someone talking an explaining most of the videos are just watching people wasting my time as they show themselves peeling each potato. Thank you
Finally someone explains it in a simple method lol.
Great video ❤️
Yes
Quite an awesome french fry cutter! That would be amazing to own! Your little helper is darling!
THANK YOU!!
i got a home version from amazo a fry cutter works good -had it for five years!! 30 bucks-just be smart with it an it will last! meaning dont force it dont try cut potato that dont fit
I bought one at Walmart for 17 bucks

I got the general idea, but most of us do not have a freezer big enough. Your Dad is cool, he can fabricate just about anything I suppose.
My grandpa had a smaller version of that french fry thing it was so sweet how it worked. Your dad is such a blessing how he comes up with how he does things.

Thanks! :D He's the BEST! Sounds like you have an amazing family too. Blessings!
Hello from Mississippi! Enjoyed your video
Awesome French fry cutter!
Thank you! :D
Have you ever saved the peels and roasted them..oh so yummy and nothing goes to waste.
I have not.. Thanks for the idea! :D
Yeah I love deep fried potato skins👍
The way I was taught was to pre fry them for 2 minute them season and cool , bag and freeze.
Another great way! :D Thanks for sharing!

@@sundancer442 Do you use tallow like from the beef or pig OR bought kind like crisco? Thk you for clarifying this for me!!😊

Thank you so very much.
That's a nice presentation loved it God bless your family💕
Can freeze them for an hour and bag them and thank you this is awesome!!!
Beautiful
I have a French fry cutter, is there a video on how your dad made the stand? Thank you for the simple video!
How do you cook these? I did some and when I deep fried them they didn't get brown they were like mush. Please let me know how to cook them to get them golden Brown
Bake them like any other fries you get from the store.
This is great!! Really like that you are not wasting anything? Curious. - do you do anything with the potatoes peels? Composed? Thanks for sharing.
We compost! :)
Good information! And great lashes!
Beat video explaining thank you

These were Russet potatoes. I love the stand my dad made for it. No sliding! ;)
Kennebec are the best for French fries
@@colleenpritchett6914 Is Kennebec a type of potato or just where you get them from?
CaptKeo it's a type of potato, you can get them wherever you get your seed potatoes, but word of warning they disappear quickly because they are so darn good!
Thanks for sharing. I will be trying this
Thanks for watching! Let me know what you think! :D
What kind of potatoes did you use ?
If I don’t have parchment can I use wax paper to freeze ?
I must do this!
I have tried this method but after two days of being in the freezer it releases water and becomes soggy. Please what can be done about that
Try blanching for three minutes
Nice video clip, thanks.
3:29 Kid saying " ...and we eat some more?" : _ )
Excellent very nice. Plz kindly tell me from where I can buy this cutter machine and what is the price. I am in Karachi pakistan. Awaiting Thanks
Nazir Ahmed still waiting hey?
It’s a commercial cutter for restaurants, shoulders easy to find used at an auction so may restaurants have gone down
Your scrap pieces could be frozen and then cooked like hashbrowns or potatoes Obrien
How do you freeze them to keep?
how to prevent the friess from blackening??
Partially cooking (blanching) them like in the video prevents them from turning black. Thanks for watching!
Weird question but would this process work if I wanted to cut my potatoes in “coins” does the shape matter ?
Great video..Tq for sharing
I m u new subscriber plz tell the name of seasoning I can't understand
Without going back and re-watching the video myself, I'm thinking we used season salt and garlic powder? Maybe paprika? It was almost a year ago.. Anything you use on fries would be good though! Welcome to Freedom Acres! :D
Do you sell French fry cutter?
Hahaah nice talk ! ...I like it
I want to make frozen fries for commercial purpose can you suggest me some tips
Rob please share if you've started? Need tips
@@abt5347 please
👍
you could have froze the little pieces for hash potatoes or a hash brown like situation.
Hi my next wife lolol you need a air fryer they are amazing, just like you ❤lol
But maybe I forgot did you say anything about baking in the oven at 4:50 or 425 for 20 minutes I don’t like that because you got to turn them over or an air cooker he just bounce a pan up and down. Or deep fry them
How long do you bake the fries, and at what temperature?
it sure looks like you are getting a lot of help Amanda! lol We never made our own freezer fries so I will be interested in seeing how yours turn out. Phil
She's the BEST little helper!!
Aye i see. I tried this but didn't blanch them. Mine turned black and when I defrosted them they were a disgusting bag of mush.
That will happen anytime you don't partially cook potatoes before freezing. Blanching really pays off! :)
Blanch on boiling water 5 mins, ice bath,
why you bag it up tomorrow? we can not bag it straight after backing sheet?
It was convenient for me. You can bag the potatoes as soon as they harden. The purpose is to keep them from sticking together in the freezer. ;) Hope that helps!
those little bits make great tater tots.
Did you had spend an whole day to make them dry 😁😂🤣
Eye lashes for days
she sounds like Jocelyn from schitts creek
What is that accent? Idaho?
I'm an Arkansas/Mississippi hybrid! LOL
she should have use something for the ice bath. feels yucky to see pour directly in the sink
Nah this is done constantly on the farm. Simply bleach and clean your sink like you would anything else.
Why do women like to talk too much? Use caption and a relax music on the background and shut up.
How long can it be stored in the refrigerator?
These french fries are for the freezer. They will not store in the fridge..
@@HearthandDome yes I want to know that how long these french fries stored without any problem in a freezer
We've kept them for about 5-6 months before.. We ran out by then though so they may be fine for longer.. I'm not sure past that. ;)
