Cut potatoes into batons, rinse off surface starch.

Vacuum seal in plastic oven bags in one even layer. Heat at 212F. for 15 minutes.

Place the hot batons on a rack in a single layer and cavitate the moisture in the potatoes with ultrasound for 45 minutes on each side.

Reheat the bag at 212F for 5 minutes.

Place batons on a rack in a single layer in a vacuum chamber, and lower them into 338F oil for three minutes to blanch.

Cool batons.

Deep-fry batons at 375F until crisp, about 3 minutes.

Drain, season, serve.

Time for preparation: 2 hours.

Old news. I've been doing it that way since 1971.

Isn't that what they did to Walt Disney's head to cryogenically save it?

 

[michael-in-phoenix]

I thought they freeze-dried his head. Decap-ffeinated.

When I've had to much cavitation, I find the only option is a visit to the Dentist.

I just found a way to loose fat & cellulite in a Pommes Frites recipe!!!

Looked up the ultrasound cavitation and found out it can be used to loose weight and cellulite. Great if I can figure it out I can loose that and then eat the world's best pommes frites all I want!!! One machine to do both - now that's what I call a multitasking tool!!!
