Yummy
Her size makes her reliable
i got dizzy watching this because the camera was moving so much! I felt like i was on a see-saw only going sideways instead of up and down.
Ugh had trouble getting mine crispy. I had to use Yukon and my sheet pan recommended not exceeding 450 degrees so I set it on convection. I got some nice browning but they were not crispy at all. Either I steamed them too long, the wedges aren't thick enough, they need 475 or it has to be russets. I'll try again. Open to any tips!
I season my fries with Salt, pepper, cajun & pap and then dust with parsley b4 serving. Yummy ❤❤❤…adding malt vinegar to them is good too.
Can they air fry?
Excellent, looks easy, even us bachelors should be able to do this!
I use my apple corer to cut the potatoes…so easy . I cut the core in two. Trick I picked up from CI tips years ago..
interesting~ but it's a known FACT that vegetable oil is bad for human consumption! Leading nutritionists/doctors in the know have been screaming at us about that for decades now so switch to healthier pure virgin olive oil! Or coconut oil! knowledge is power, self-empowerment!!
In the oven now can’t wait 😋
They sound like a rock at the end 🤣
Hi 👋🏻
I see some wine before I cook them in the oil vegetable
Do you season your fries? From Isabella
There in the oven right now I’m excited hopefully they turn out good I cut mine a little more thin
In the TV commercials with Bridgett for ATK and CC you end it by saying "Happy Cooking".
STOP IT!! That tag line belongs to
JACQUES PEPIN. !!!!
Try being original rather than STEALING.
Try rendered down chicken fat for deep frying chips and English style battered fish. Its amazing and the golden colour. Taste is insanely beautiful.
Even my kids loved the Tian! Asked me to cook it again. Really enjoyed the video, smart & simple. Thanks Julia!!!
Julia. I am a big Fan for many years. You are a amazing cooking teacher….Happy Cooking>>>Jose from Orlando Florida
Love your videos. Thanks!!!
Awesome recipe! Turned out great 😊. I kept mine covered for the first 12 minutes then uncovered for another 12 before turning them over for 15.
You say cover with foil for first 5 minutes but then you take the pan presumably from the oven after half hour with foil on? Which is it?
I am now starving for them, thank you!!! (maybe??)
Great recipe and technique, I wonder if I could do this on my grill to avoid all that oven heat in the summer? I’m confident it would work just as well
Trying tonight.
Dark fries, burnt chips (especially the doubled) yep, my kind of lady!
Thank you for the great recipe. Two points though, tap water is full of contaminants and vegetable oil is toxic. Please use filtered water and a healthy oil such as avocado or Olive excetera.
Can I use a pan that is not non-stick?
Melissa McCarthy vibes and the voice!! LOL i had to tripple check at first XD
You don't have to peel potatoes. Better with skin on
burger recipe?
She moves too fast when she’s cooking.
👍👍👍
Wow 😮 amazing trick 👏
I can't wait to make these. Thanks Julia!
Outstanding!!! However I gotta confess, I used bags of frozen fries, both crinkle cut, and steak fries. (reason being, I shamefully NEVER! learned how to use that type of potato peeler, the few times I tried, I've cut myself everytime, if I use a knife, I waste too much of the potatoe) still I followed your process to the T, and everyone was impressed. Also, I only have 3 cookie sheets of different sizes, I prefer the foil. I am a reuser of foil, I carefully wash and dry the foil, for later. Shhhh, don't tell my family about any of this!!!
For years I've been doing a similar version of this with cooking spray to decrease calories. Now I will add the hot water step and salt and pepper the pan. Can't wait to try. I LOVE AMERICA'S TEST KITCHEN. Thank you, Julia
I remember my mom used to put a lite coating of corn meal on her oven fry’s I understand why she done it now the ball bearings thing
Yum with homemade ranch!
If you spray the sheet pan with Pam, THEN add the oil, the oil will evenly spread itself.
Julia how do I make frying pan fried potatoes? I'm cutting some small fingerling potatoes into thin slices, I will probably use some oil and salt and pepper as you said in this one but I don't know how long it takes for raw potatoes to cook.
Those potatoes are burnt
Your a great Chief hear is too you too😃❤️👋🤓🌟😍🔥🍯🌅
No likes one sided seasoned food!
This did not work for me AT ALL. I feel that I followed the recipe but for a smaller qty on a smaller sheet pan. My potatoes were well cooked but not at all brown or crispy. Still I enjoyed them. Not sure what the problem was.
There's a way more easier way to do this. Just boil the potatoes in water till they're almost going to fall apart. Then move them to a baking tray and sprinkly oil over them. Broil them for 5 mins. Toss. Broil another 5 mins. Done. No need for any aluminum foil. No need for so much oil.
When did

Buy the Julia Child Brand ?..
Wow
❤ your videos, julia!
however, how can these be "fries" if they're not "fried". 😊 (jk)
if you use king edward or maris piper potatoes you don't need to bother with all the soaking and paper towel dabbing
