Like how can you not get excited that you are making Chick Fil A Waffle Fries??? Like I get them every time I go to Chick FIl A. So imagine my surprise when I stumbled across this recipe. Let's make some Waffle Fries!!

Fries so unique that they are called Waffle Fries

Ingredients:

- Several pounds of Idaho Russet Potatoes (or just regular potatoes) peeled and kept in cold water

- A deep fat fryer or a big pan

- Vegetable oil for the fryer

- A mandolin

Directions:

1. Cut the Potatoes with a mandolin (These can be picked up quickly and are used to cut potatoes into crinkly styled chips)

2. Now after you have made the first slice, rotate the potato 90 degrees, and cut.

3. You will need to play with the depth until you get it right, so BE PATIENT! This should give you the Waffle Fry shape, but make sure you get the holes.

4. Once cut, place back into the cold water, so they do not brown.

5. Heat the oil to a medium heat, about 250 degrees Fahrenheit.

6. Drop the slices a few at a time and cook for 4 minutes.

7. Remove from the heat, and leave to cool and dry on paper towels

8. Increase heat of oil to highest possible, and cook for another 5-10 minutes, basically until they start to go golden but not quite brown!

How to Deep-Fry Safely

Working with hot oil can be daunting method of cooking, and there are some key points to keep in mind to ensure you stay safe while working with the deep fryer. Follow these tops for deep-frying safely to avoid accidents in the kitchen and harming yourself.

Few Simple Rules

Be slow and safe while operating please.

1. Use oil with a high smoke point. This is the temperature an oil can be heated to before it begins to smoke and burn. Rapeseed, sunflower and vegetable oil are all good choices.

2. Use a large, wide, sturdy pan. Never fill the pan more than two-thirds full with oil as it may bubble up when food is added, and could spill over.

3. Make sure you have a well-fitting lid close to hand in case the oil catches fire. If your pan doesn’t have a lid that fits, a large, flat baking sheet will do the job. 

4. Check the temperature of your oil. If you have a food thermometer heat the oil to 320 F for low, 356 F for moderate and 374 F for high. Avoid heating the oil any higher than this, as it may catch fire. If you don’t have a thermometer, test the oil with a cube of bread. It should brown in 30-40 seconds when the oil is at a moderate heat.

5. Never put wet food in the fryer. Excess liquid will cause the oil to sputter which can cause injuries. Dry particularly wet food with kitchen roll before frying.

6. Never leave a pan of hot oil unattended, it can take just a minute or two for the oil to overheat and catch fire.

7. Turn pan handles away from the front of the cooker, to avoid knocking the pan off the hob.

8. Keep the kitchen a child-free zone while deep-frying. Little hands can cause catastrophes when dealing with hot oil. 

9. Remove food with a large slotted spoon or sturdy tongs, something that allows the oil to drain as you lift the food out.

10. To dispose of the oil safely, leave to cool completely, pour into a jug, then back into its original bottle. Never pour the oil down the sink, unless you want blocked pipes! Blogging gives your site a voice, so let your business’ personality shine through. Are you a creative agency?

What To Do When Deep-frying Goes Wrong

• If the oil starts to smoke, turn off the heat and leave the oil to cool down.

• If the oil catches fire, turn off the heat and smother the flames with a lid, large baking tray or a fire blanket, or use a fire extinguisher if you have one.

• Never spray the fire with water; this will cause the flames to spread.

• Call the fire brigade as soon as it is safe to do so.
