Our
fries don't come from a freezer.
What makes a flex fry a better fry?
We begin with the undisputed king of potatoes, the PEI
Russet Burbank, developed in 1914 by Lou
Sweet, a Colorado potato grower and then president of
The Potato Association of America.
Our potatoes are washed in cool water and handcut in
our shop in small batches. After cutting, a second water
wash removes much of the loose starch that would otherwise
make them doughy and sticky.
A quick blanch in pure canola oil cooks
the potato through without browning or crisping. The
cooked fries are then rapidly cooled. When you order
them, the fries are cooked a second time, at a slightly
higher temperature. This second cooking gives them the
crisp texture they're famous for, and is known as the
French method.
To finish, we dust them lightly with natural sea salt.
Sure,
it's not terribly convenient, but the result is likely
the best fry you've ever tasted.
