Belgian fries

Poor Asta. I've conquered Belgian fries and she doesn't get any more limp, greasy rejects.

My Fry Daddy has only one temp setting so I couldn't fry them in 2 steps and at 2 different temps. My solution is to 3/4 bake them in the microwave, let them cool, cut into spears, and deep-fry.

I tried slicing before microwaving, which I thought would give more crispy bits on the outside but that doesn't work at all.

Dip into sriracha lime mayo and mmmmmm.

Yes, I realize the Belgians peel their potatoes. I don't.

An entertaining site (in English) with history and recipes is The One and Only Original Belgian Fries Website.
