  • HOW TO MAKE FROZEN KETO FRENCH FRIES
    All over social media, Heavenly Fan’s viral keto french fries viral has taken storm. Everyone is trying this 3 ingredient keto recipe that is supposed to look, feel and taste just like McDonald’s french fries. Of course, I had to try these low carb french fries that her fans call Heavenly Fries.
    There are two ways to make them. She shows you how to make them using almond flour and coconut flour. I only used almond flour to make these keto fries because I don’t care for the taste of coconut flour.
    In this video, I show you how to make her recipe. Along with the 2 common big mistakes I made when making them and how you can avoid these mistakes when you make your keto french fries.
    I also show you some of my experiments with trying to perfect the fries even more. Three attempts and the last was successful! If you want to see how I tweaked to make authentic tasting keto french fries, then stay to the end.
    The most amazing thing to come from this recipe, besides the best keto french fries ever, is that you can FREEZE THESE FRENCH FRIES!!! To freeze, lay them out on a parchment lined baking tray. Place in freezer to harden. Once hard, place the keto fries in a freezer safe bag and freeze until ready to use. To heat, add to hot oil or bake from frozen!

    ============================================================
    KETO FRENCH FRIES RECIPE
    100 g almond flour (1/2 cup + 1/3 cup)
    1 tablespoon xanthan gum
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    6 tablespoons hot water
    20 drops mashed potato flavor drops, optional
    olive oil for frying
    In a small bowl, whisk together almond flour, xanthan gum and salt. Mix in hot water and flavor extract if using. Knead together with hands until combined. Place dough in between two sheets of parchment paper and roll out to an 1/4 inch thick using a rolling pin. Slice dough into small strips. Try to get them as thin as possible, around 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick.
    TO FRY: To a large skillet, add enough olive oil to cover the keto french fries as they cook. Let heat over medium heat. Once the oil is heated, add a single layer of fries to the oil and let them cook until golden brown on all sides. May need to turn them to cook all sides. Remove from the oil and onto a paper towel lined plate. Sprinkle with additional salt if needed.
    TO BAKE: To bake, spread french fries out in a single layer onto a baking tray. Spray the fries with olive oil. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes.
    TO AIR FRY: To air fry, spread french fries onto the air fryer basket or tray in a single layer. Spray the fries with olive oil. Air fry at 400 degrees for 6 minutes.
    TO FREEZE: Lay strips of dough onto a parchment lined baking tray and stick in the freezer. Once frozen, remove the fries from the tray and store in freezer safe bag in the freezer. Proceed with directions below to cook from frozen.

    When you use warm water in 'grainy' flours, you let it rest so that all the water can be absorbed.

    • @macylouwho1187
      @macylouwho1187 2 года назад +5

      Can waxy almond nutmeat bits actually absorb water? It doesn’t seem like they could do anything but be combined into something due to water and other ingredients causing them to stick to the rest. I have a parrot, and she often drops broken bits of her assorted nuts into her water bowl. They don’t seem to swell up or actually absorb any water, they just get a bit slimy in there after sitting until I change the water again.

    • @RememberMeYeah
      @RememberMeYeah Год назад +23

      The reason for resting it is because of the xanthan gum which needs time to absorb the moisture to do its job of binding the almond flour.

  • @teleblue49
    @teleblue49 3 года назад +29

    I tried them both ways, and trust me, the coconut flour is the way to go! More like a real potato. I too, don't care for the taste of coconut flour either, so I added a 1/2 tsp of onion powder. Also after rolling out the dough, I placed it on a flat sheet pan and put it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. These puff up when you fry them, so you have to roll the dough real thin, less than a 1/4 of an inch. Chilling the dough helped with cutting them into "fries". I used a pizza wheel which worked the best. I had leftover dough that I kept in the fridge over night and they came out fine the next day.

    I prefer the coconut recipe myself. Here's how I make the fries faster when I'm just cooking for myself: Put dry ingredients for one serving in a plastic bag. Shake to mix well. Add water (room temp. is fine) to bag and knead the bag until water is fully distributed and you have a dough. (No resting period necessary.) Turn the dough out onto a silicone mat, and keeping your hand in the bag, pat the dough down to a ¼ inch thickness. Slice and fry. If I'm making several servings, I usually just put the dough through my pasta pronto and it forms the fries in nice round, perfectly sized fries. I also made up a mix so I can just pull out the amount for one or more servings.

    I really love and appreciate how you handled this video, giving all the credit to Heavenly Fan. And I love that you went through so many different attempts with changes. I'm like you, I would want a strong salt taste. I'm thinking our American pallet is probably pretty different than her British vegetarian tastes. Never thought about it, but there is some similarity between her slow, calm way of speaking and yours. Very relaxing to listen to. I've been on the fence about ordering some OOO flavoring extracts for making corn bread and corn tortillas. I think I will order those along with the potato that you used!

I saw you commented on another video that you were buying flavoring, so I had a heads up. Thank you for taking the time to do all the experimenting. I know it takes up a lot of time and burns through ingredients. You saved me from tweaking, because I am a tweaker. I just made these earlier, and even without ketchup my teenager couldn't wait til I pulled the next batch from the pan. She is NOT easy to please, so that is saying a lot. I can just imagine how they will be next level with the flavoring. I love that I will be able to freeze these. Conveniences in keto don't come along too often. Thanks for your hard work.

When I first made them they were nasty and hard (too thick) and I remembered you mentioned how yours were bad when they were too thick, so that's the only reason I tried again and they were LOVELY!!! LIKE WTF!!! You literally have to roll the dough extra flat, not so flat that the dough is coming up when you unpeel the top piece of parchment paper though. You literally also have to cut them like MCDONALDS FRIES it shouldn't be thicker than that or thin like chips, add no other seasoning but salt in the dough (used onion&garlic powder the first time in the dough & this may have also altered the texture) and I promise you're good to go. Also, that potato flavor is AMAZING thank you so much for everything!!

    I was planning on trying Heavenly Fans fries recipe tonight. Then I saw this when looking for the video to write down the recipe. The potato extract is a nice trick! Also, thanks for mentioning to stick with olive oil. I was planning on avocado oil, as I am planning on also cooking Highfalutin' Low Carb's chicken tender recipe tonight, which specifically says to not use olive oil. I will post again later on how these turn out for me. I'm not only learning how to cook keto, I am learning how to cook in general, so, things are still hit and miss while I figure out timing and such. :-)

    • @maidenminnesota1
      @maidenminnesota1 2 года назад

      I was going to use avocado oil, too, as that's the only keto oil that's really suited to even remotely higher heat frying (olive oil is not).

    Love the addition of the mashed potato extract. I also use beef flavor like McDonald's does. I use hot beef bone broth instead of water. I really like the flavor.

    Greetings, I just wanted to say first off I love your recipes, they're very creative and very easy to listen to the instructions. Some are so difficult to listen to that you simply can't.
    In this recipe for keto french fries you come to a point where you say you mix the ingredients and the water together but it gets quite sticky and you don't understand why the previous Chef would say that this combination needs to rest for a while. Just like with AP flour, you are putting water into a dry ingredient that you need to allow time for the water to soak into the dry ingredient so that it conditions the dough and makes it into a product that will cook up to your desired end. It's not a matter of adding too much water. Don't skip this step, it's very important.
    Once again thanks for the great recipes.

    using BOTH almond and coconut works best! Can't taste any coconut. 1 cup almond, 1/2 cup coconut, 6 teaspoons Xanthan gum, 1 cup boiling water, salt and pepper.... They're amazing.

    I sprinkled a small amount of corn starch on my board before rolling them out. No sticky. So 😋 yummy. I also sorta did a Fathead dough, not much cheese. So good. Adding onion powder and they taste like onion rings. Yes, salt!

  • @cizo1979
    @cizo1979 3 года назад +3

    hi, thank you first for all your efforts, i wanna share with you also a twist that i made in this recipe, is that when i mix the dough, i put it on a plastic wrap than i roll it between to form a potato shape (ball) then i add it in the freezer for more than 4 hours. when i want to fry i take out the potato ball fro the freezer and leave it for only 5 minutes in room temperature than on a cutting board with a sharp knife i cut the potato slices and thin fries shapes than directly to the frying pan. the idea here you use this editation as a normal potato without rolling a dough between two parchment papers and get stick to your hand, try it like this and let me know .

    The first batch I tried was quiet allright. I was following the recepie.
    BUT the 2nd time was Even better! I did a Great mistanke by adding 3 tbsp in stead og 3teaspoons of Xantum Gum. The fries went all bubbly and crispy all the way through. PERFECT!
    A hot tip: add Extra salt and some powdered erythritol (1tbsp)to make them taste Even more like McDonald's.👌🏾 And Cook them a looong time on lower heat. Could not taste the almonds at all!🤩 Im so happy for This 😃
    Oh BTW im salting the oil om frying them in, and directly after they're done (while they still are a bit oily)

    I air fried my second batch on a piece of foil lined with parchment paper and I used a pastry brush to soak each strip generously with olive oil and air fried them on 250 for about 15 minutes, turning them over halfway. They turned out quite well!

  • @sgreen4865
    @sgreen4865 3 года назад +2

    If you want to make it extra crispy. Add like 1/3 cup of fresh grated parmesan cheese. Not the dried on in the can. (like Kraft green can with red top)
    The fresh one, near the cheeses, in the market. Mix it into the dried ingredients before you add the water. Then cook as normal. They will be extra crispy.

    I am such a French fry lover. So thank you so much for this recipe. They sound delicious. I want the extract but I’m in Canada in Winnipeg and it’s very cold here now. Lots of snow so I will have to wait to order it otherwise it will freeze. It will cost me $17.85 for it with delivery. I think adding it to whipped cauliflower would be awesome. Thank you for finding that for us. This is the first time I’ve seen you. I think you’re great and I have subscribed. I might make them without the extract for now. I’ve always cooked fries in lard. Maybe I’ll try a few.

    In most un-leavened recipes using some kind of flour the "resting phase" is just to let the mix evenly hydrate. Provides for a more consistent texture as you can have some of the larger particles of the flour you are using not absorb as much water as the smaller ones. Maybe not needed at all times, but seems to help with consistent texture in my experience.

    good vid and pleased with acknowledgements. Re resting time. As with standard bread baking it is essential that the liquid in the dough is fully absorbed and rest time after mixing aids this process. I rest my dough for at least an hour and have success in rolling out (without the need for baking paper) everytime!!

    I’ve been dealing with severe digestive issues brought on about using erythritol and Allulose the last 2 years, so my mind wasn’t on cooking.
    I did it in batches on my cast-iron pan. Delicious!
