When U.S. News and World Report set out to find the best French fries in America, they landed at the Boise Fry Company in the heart of potato country. Here, Blake Lingle and his team of fry-masters create perfect, crisp, golden-brown fries, lightly salted and served with "a burger on the side" or from the window of their hugely popular BFC truck. In this book, Lingle traces the story of the french fry, from the ancient origins of the potato in South America, through potatoes "fried in the French manner" served at Thomas Jefferson's White House dinners, through their explosion with the fast-food phenomenon of the 1950s, and, now, their status as a gourmet treat, whether sprinkled with Welsh sea salt or truffle oil. Lingle also provides instructions on how you can make your own delicious French fries at home, from the selection of potatoes and oil, through how to cut, fry, and serve them.
