LURCH French Fries Academy - simply make your own fries

French fries are one of the most popular frozen products in Germany, but they have a reputation for being very greasy and unhealthy. Making your own fries is an attractive alternative to the finished product. But the amount of fat depends heavily on the preparation. Deep frying at low temperatures increases the fat content.

A healthier option is to bake them in the oven, although they are less crispy. To optimize this process, we recommend using a fat separation mat or pyramid mat.

In addition to potatoes, fries can also be made from other vegetables such as carrots, beetroot or pumpkin, known as sticks. Our recipes for fries and vegetable sticks offer a diverse selection that ensures variety on the plate. Homemade snacks are not only healthier, they also offer exciting taste experiences for every connoisseur.
