What's the best way to re-heat cold chips (french fries)? - Page 2

You can try the toaster. If that leaves them dry, microwave them after [img]smile.gif[/img]

Alternatively, huddle in a corner, mutter 'warm' over and over and pretend they are just that.

french fries are not meant to be leftovers. if they come to you cold already take them back and throw them at the attendant. that will make them feel very happy about their already meaningful job.

That's disgusting

but yeah, refrying is the best way, this is based on 3 years of fast food experience. Just make sure the oil is nice and hot, or they'll go soggy.

Dont buy so much that you even have leftovers of them then buy some new ones when you feel the need of more OR the refrying must be the best choice i think

NO Joke I do this all the time;

1).move the oven rack up to the highest level.

2).Turn on the top broiler in your oven.

3).spread the french fries in a single layer on
a cookie sheet and place on top rack in oven.

4).check them every 30 seconds to a minute.

5).as they just start to brown slightly remove the cookie sheet.

6).Carefuly and quickly turn the frys over once and return to the oven.

7).repete step 4 and then remove from oven & pore them on to a double layer of paper towels on the counter. Salt to taste, wrap them up in the paper towels to keep them warm and eat.

8).Don't forget to turn off the oven.

I've been doing this for years. never reheat them more than once they turn into little bricks.

Ya know it's the craziest thing. KFC's in the US (at least the parts of the US I've seen) don't have fries; they do have seasoned potatoe wedges though.

Throw 'em in the trash, wait for 'em to decompose to be used as fertilizer in a new crop of potatoes (or potatos), slice those up, deep-fry 'em, and eat 'em while they're hot.

Nothing else, IMHO, comes close to that method. Takes a while, though....
