Project: homemade Fries and Mayoooo
EN
So excited because I've never made fries
before and lately I was craving for French fries a lot as I can’t remember
what my last time I had them. After reading a few recipes here and there I
decided to give it a go and chosen a healthier option: baked seasoned French
fries with skin!
I was also feeling
challenged and adventurous enough to make my own mayonnaise because what are
fries without sauce right? Even though mayo is not my favourite sauce, I
still want to understand the base of making good sauces.
And never thought making
homemade French fries would be this easy. And I never thought making
mayonnaise would lose my right arm.
I hope you try out this easy
recipe!

Vandaag laat ik zien hoe je Franse frietjes (met huid) uit de
oven en mayonaise moet maken! Ik had spontaan trek in friet en heb nog nooit
friet gemaakt en het stond al vrij lang op mijn ‘bucketlist’. Dus ik dacht ‘gaan
met die banaan’!
En wat is friet zonder mayonaise? Hoewel mayonaise
niet mijn favoriete saus is, wil ik deze heel graag maken en deze beheersen.
Ik voelde me nogal uitgedaagd na het zien van vele kookprogramma’s op tv!
Wat ik heb geleerd: friet maken is een ei. Mayonaise
daarin tegen ook maar je verliest wel je arm. Wil je weten waarom?
Ik zeg
probeer dit receptje uit!

Da recipe
mayonnaise: 1 egg yolk, ¼ cup vegetable oil (sunflower oil), ½ tsp. mustard, ½ tsp vinegar, few drops of lemon juice, 1 tsp. fine sugar, a good pinch of salt & pepper
mayonnaise: 2 medium potatoes, 2 tbsp. of oil, pinch of salt & pepper, 1 tbsp. of parsley (mine was dried), 1 tbsp. of rosemary (also dried)
My right arm was really soar after all the whisking but it sure was a work out!
Just using my hands because I'm a messy cook...
And I didn't want to wash up.
Ready for the oven!
First of all, after it came out of the oven it smells so so góóód! Like ugh. One of the best home lunches ever.
Da Steps
Mayonnaise:
- Whisk egg yolk with mustard (I've used the Dutch 'Zaanse' mustard).
- Adding the oil: careful! Just let a few drops first and slowly and keep on whisking the egg. After a while the egg will turn a bit pale and thickens up. Keep adding oil in small amount to the egg! You don't want the egg to split.
- After the base has thicken up, add the seasoning: salt, pepper, vinegar, lemon juice and sugar. Combine well!
- Now your mayo is done! You might want to rest in the fridge until you use it.
Seasoned French fries:
- Pre-heat oven to 230°C. Get a baking tray ready and coat it with foil.
- Remove dirt and wash the potatoes thoroughly. If you want to peel of the skin feel free to do it.
- Cut the potatoes in any desired shapes/slices/thickness.
- Put them into a bowl and add in the 2 tbsp. oil, salt, pepper, rosemary and parsley. Combine them well!
- Place the fries on the baking tray, next to each other.
- Bake it for 20 minutes.
- Serve it and enjoy!
Good luck!
Awww (^3^), mouth-watering*°...and please use something like a kitchen-aid machine for whisking - would be healthier for your arm ( °_°)b - nevertheless, belated bon appétit!

Ooh looks great! I love fries and mayonnaise and it sounds delicious - I'll definitely try it out. :)
ReplyDeletethose look deeeelicious. i make baked french fries all the time. so easy right? never tried mayo though, yours looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute little holder for your fries! I should just try this; they look great. Last week I tried a recipe using swede to make fries (supposed to be a non-carb alternative to potato) but they didn't even turn out crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside like they were supposed to, just tasted like roasted veg! Should have never deviated from my precious potatoes -_-

Ohh yum! So Dutch, haha. I've never tried making mayonnaise myself before, it looks like hard work. What I like to do is mix a bit of roasted garlic into my mayonnaise, it tastes really good.
ReplyDeleteIve always wanted to make my own mayonnaise, however I haven't ever wanted to tire my right arm out just for it. But maybe one dya, and follow your fries recipe too.

Mmmmmmm...... Het ziet er zo lekker uit! Ik ben wel benieuwd wat je nog met het eiwit hebt gedaan, daar kun je nog lekkere toetjes van maken zoals merengueschuim :) xx
ReplyDeleteIt's been more than 5 years since I made my own french fries...this makes me wanna make them, especially since this recipe seems to be faster than the one I had years ago.
ReplyDeleteThanks you!
Looks so delicious!! *_* Send some to the UK for me?? hehe
ReplyDeletethose look yummy have you tried to make sweet potato?
ReplyDeletemmm looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteheerlijk zo, veel beter dan gefrituurde frietjes uit een diepvries zak. ik vind het lekker om met aardappel en pompoen te doen :)
ReplyDeletei need to give this a try! looks delicious! i've been meaning to make my own potato chips but perhaps the fries shall come first :)
ReplyDeleteYum yum yumms!!
ReplyDeleteIk heb de afgelopen week zoete aardappelfrietjes lopen bakken, maar die waren zeker niet zo goed als die van jou!
En de mayo ziet er inderdaad uitdagend uit; ik denk dat ik het maar gewoon bij de super koop :p
Nice :3
ReplyDeleteyou have made me so hungry! this looks like something you'd get at a restaurant, it's amazing. and homemade mayo is the way to go :) x
ReplyDeleteYummy! I haven't made mayo since I was in middle school, but I will need to make some soon! :)

Wow, great post recipe post! The pictures and the explanations make it very easy to follow. Better than most food blogs I've actually read lol. Looks good too btw!
ReplyDeleteOh wow these look just delicious! I need to try them :)
ReplyDeleteThe fries look ever so yummy! I'm going to try these recipes one day! :D
ReplyDeletethis looks sooo delicious. Need to try this one day *q*
ReplyDeleteSo yummy!!! I have actually never tried the baked version, we usually fry them and then use all the absorbing paper in the world to dry them to keep them healthier :) I'm terrible at mayo, you are really brave to do it with the whip (poor arm)! I have only tried the hand mixer but I usually end up curdling it :S I need practice ;)
ReplyDeleteyhammy! ;)
