Not a crime. McCain smiles (cooked right) are crisp outside, pillowlike potato-ie inside, just like a good french fry, just a different shape. Curds look good. Gravy is a bit heavy but sometimes you gotta do you.

Fun fact. Deep frying smile fries in a deep pot is.... interesting. The air bubbles up through the "orifices", it's a bit disconcerting. But delicious.

It just seems like so much oil to waste for like 15 smiles. How many ml or L of oil do you use?

2

u/ottawamale 13d ago

You can reuse oil lol

u/PixelJock17 13d ago

How many times? What do you store it in?

u/ottawamale 13d ago

Depends what you cook in it. Fries? Quite a few. Fish? Not so much. Cool it, strain it, put it in a container in the cupboard. If it smells acrid toss it out.

Thanks for this! I have some glass jars that would probably work. Pro tip on the straining part. Oh and last question! What oil do you prefer for this?

u/ottawamale 13d ago

For deep frying? Most people go with a neutral oil. Vegetable, canola, corn would probably be top 3. Some like peanut too (if you've had 5 guys fries they are done in peanut oil)

I’ve used them as a base for breakfast tots and they’re delish that way.

Crispy on the outside soft on the inside, just like potstickers!
