Chick-fil-A Waffle Fry Dupe - Dish with Drew

 Chick-fil-A Waffle Fry Dupe 

Chick-fil-A's waffle fries have always been top tier, in my humble correct opinion. You can easily make them at home but you do need one specific tool, a large waffle fry cutter, which you can find here.  The standard waffle fry cutter that you find on most mandolins is not thick enough and the ridges aren't wide enough to recreate the iconic size of Chick-fil-A's waffle fries.

Now you can have them any day of the week, even on Sundays, enjoyyy! ❤️

🧾 Ingredients 🧾

5 large russet potatoes
4 cups boiling water
48 ounces canola oil
Kosher salt, to taste

👨‍🍳 Instructions 👨‍🍳

1) Scrub the potatoes thoroughly under hot water until the skins are very clean.

2) Begin heating your oil to 325°F while you prepare the potatoes.

3) Using the large waffle fry cutter, place a potato into the slicer and make your first cut. Then rotate the potato 90 degrees (a quarter turn) and slice again. Continue slicing, rotating the potato 90 degrees between each cut. This alternating pattern is what creates the waffle shape. Transfer the cut potatoes to a large bowl as you go.

4) Once all the potatoes are cut, pour boiling water over them and let them soak for 20 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and gives you a better final texture. The potatoes must be completely covered with the boiling water to prevent them from turning brown.

5) Drain the potatoes and dry them thoroughly. Fry in batches at 325°F for 5 minutes. This is your first fry, which cooks the inside without browning too much.

6) Remove the potatoes and place them on a wire rack or paper towels to drain.

7) Increase the oil temperature to 350°F.

8) Return the potatoes to the oil in batches and fry for 5–7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain, then immediately season with salt.
