Our "Belgian Frites" are based on cooking methods first created in Belgium. These morsels are known stateside as 'fries'. The basic guidelines for Belgian frites are:
- The potatoes are freshly cut, so irregularly shaped. Generally the fries are at around 10 mm thick
- We soak them overnight in filtered water and vinegar
- We blanch them at low tempurature.
This makes them fluffy on the inside. Tne we then cook them at
the highest possible tempurature to provide a crispy exterior and a
distinct potato taste.
- In Belgium, Frites are served in a
paper cone. The cones are really expensive to import, so we serve
them in wax paper and a steel cone at the One Stop.
