Fries 101


NOK 18 for supersoggy fries (made of potato this time) and a burger. Brown stuff is probably onion, but i am not sure. I had one of my colleagues taste it - but she could not identify the flavour. As first-aid i used some chilli-sauce to spice things up. Did not help very much.
The interesting thing here is the approach to fries. Basic idea is for them is to be crispy - or at least to be able to maintain its own weight when being positioned horizontally and held in one end. The image above shows the result of "Dagens Lunsj's patented crispynesstest". Not approved.
There is probably a good formula to explain this - but i do not believe ISS have understood this, or even had "Fries 101" as a mandatory training session for their employees.
When you are a company serving food, and your equipment does not support the making of fries - you should not make them. Go for something easier. Like rice. Or you can order catering and serve that.
Or, when you don't even serve your drinking water cold - perhaps you should stay away from the restaurant business?

  1. Nils,

    We're simply talking cross-over Kitchen gone wild.

    The fries served on Thursday was probably a version of what is called Phillipines fries, the raw version.

    I provide two links, and if you look at "Raw Camote" on the second link, you'll understand better.
