Frozen French Fries Comparison Test: Is Expensive Really Better?
Crispy, salty and delicious: One type of frozen fries was the clear winner in the test
Frozen fries are without question practical – but which products taste really good? In the video you can see how a comparison between expensive and cheap fries works out.
Frozen fries are one of mankind's best inventions – at least you would believe it if you ask any kindergarten or elementary school child for their opinion. But there are big differences between the products – a small comparison test shows what is really worthwhile.
Almost as nice as a snack
Very few of us have a deep fryer in the kitchen – and are therefore dependent on the pre-fried and frozen fries if you want to enjoy the delicious fast food at home (yes, in theory you can of course make fries yourself, and that can be really great with a fancy french fries recipe – but this is about the convenient frozen version). Unfortunately, the frozen French fries all too often don't taste as fresh and crispy as they do at the snack bar. Nothing is sadder than a plate full of soft, doughy potato sticks that turn into floury porridge when you eat.
Is Expensive Really Better?
Just looking at the price tag shows how far the quality of the products varies: while you can buy a large bag of french fries from the freezer for just a few cents, a high-end product costs several euros. But is it worth investing in luxury fries? In this test, a mother and her son try it out: They blindly try three different types of French fries (each from the cheapest, middle and most expensive price range). All three samples come straight from the oven onto the table – and a clear favorite quickly emerges.
Damn close to the deep fryer
One of the three types of French fries can actually almost keep up with the fries from the deep fryer in the test and completely thrilled the testers. The video shows which type of frozen fries seems to be the most worthwhile to grab.
