The Perfect Fries: Our Double-Fry Technique Revealed

At Monopoly Burger, nestled in the vibrant heart of Amsterdam’s Kinkerstraat, we take our fries seriously. Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and packed with flavor—our golden french fries are a fan favorite. But what’s the secret behind their perfection? It’s all in the double-fry technique, a method we’ve mastered to bring you the ultimate side dish. Today, we’re pulling back the curtain to reveal how we achieve fry greatness.

Why Fries Matter at Monopoly Burger Amsterdam

A great burger deserves an equally great sidekick. While our juicy, halal burgers steal the spotlight, our fries complete the experience. Whether you’re a local foodie or a tourist exploring Amsterdam, nothing beats dipping a perfectly crisp fry into our signature sauces. But achieving that ideal texture isn’t luck—it’s science, patience, and a little culinary magic.

The Science Behind the Double-Fry Technique

So, what makes the double-fry technique so special? It’s a two-step process that ensures maximum crispiness while keeping the inside tender. Here’s how it works:

1. First Fry (Low-Temperature Bath): The potatoes are fried at a lower temperature (around 300°F/150°C) to cook them through without browning. This step removes moisture, creating a soft interior.
2. Second Fry (High-Temperature Blast): After resting, the fries hit the oil again at a higher temperature (375°F/190°C) to achieve that golden, crispy exterior.

This method, popularized by Belgian fry masters, ensures a fry that’s sturdy enough to hold sauces but delicate enough to melt in your mouth.

Our Step-by-Step Process at Monopoly Burger

At Monopoly Burger Kinkerstraat, we don’t cut corners. Here’s how we apply the double-fry technique to every batch:

1. Selecting the Right Potatoes

Not all potatoes are created equal. We use starchy varieties like Russets or Bintjes, which are perfect for achieving that fluffy interior.

2. Cutting for Consistency

Uniformity is key. Our fries are cut thick enough to retain moisture inside but thin enough to crisp up beautifully.

3. The First Fry: Patience is Key

We fry them gently until they’re just cooked—no color, just a soft texture. Then, they rest and cool, which helps the starches set.

4. The Second Fry: Crisp to Perfection

Just before serving, we fry them again at a higher temperature until they’re golden and irresistible. A sprinkle of sea salt, and they’re ready to go!
