Cedar Point Fries Recipee

It's been awhile since i ate them. I really dont remember what they taste like. Personally i'm a fan of Kennywood's fries.

I love the controversy over fried potatoes.

I personally love the original Berardi's fries over the current Cedar Point ones. Now that I know there's shops in Sandusky and Huron I may have to go get me some.

Anyone who ever worked in one of the 3 fry stands has to be loving this. GFS , give me a break!!!! Thaw them out, ha , That fridge would be huge! That also would mean a lot of walking to and from the foods warehouse. That was an insult to anyone who worked the potato sink for 14 hours straight. Most know if your an employee you can't talk about things on the internet and hope to keep or return to your job. But please don't lie. If you don't know , don't guess. I assume the guests of this site are looking for facts.

YES we want fact not fiction!!! Playa.... YOU are full of CRAP!!! that is not even feasible 200 degrees for 5 minutes.... Take your retarded butt out of here. If anyone has "Legitimate" information please share it or email me personally. I am a veteran employee if that influences your vote! :-)

Now you did it. He's gonna be mad.

And tear you to pieces.

I work at Cedar Point. In their Food Services Division. I've worked in all three fresh cut fry stands. I've taught other employees how to make the fries. I know the truth and you guyz are all way off. It's a very complicated process that takes a lot of time to learn. A lot more is involved than you think.

It's a French Fry. Potato, hot grease & salt. What more could be to it than that?

IDK, I've watched the Food Network and they showed some restaurant's fries' secrets. It can get very tedious. Have a certain kind of potato, keep the potato at a certain temperature and so on. I'm not sure if CP is that strict, but I'll bet there is an intricate process to those simply delicious fries.

There's a secret recipe for fries? Why am I always the last to find these things out? Sigh.

Now ok WD. I dont know how to make the Fries but let me tell you, Dont get on our site and start acting like you know everything becuase just as Jeff said the Flames will be comming at you. Go hang out with the Lemon Chill Guy.

Don't bring me into it.

I don't think it is that much of a secret. Many years ago, someone from CP foods (John Albino?) was on WEWS when they did a CP special. As I said two years ago on this thread, they are fried twice. The man from CP said they are fresh cut, blanched, fried at a lower temp to cook and then fried at a high temp to crisp the outside. I think the only seasoning is salt.

I'm sure there is more to it, like oil temp, potato temp, etc. But basically, the above procedure will get you a CP fry if you experiment with the details.

I worked at the Happy Friar some the summer of 1980. The fries are very simply made. Fresh potatos, peeled, sliced, fried then salted. That was it.

The thing is that the fresh cut fry recipe is pretty much the same from joint to joint (or in this case from park to park).

Cut, blanch, fry.

The big difference comes in the quality and types of ingredients. Types of oils, quality of potato, what seasonings all go into the final flavor and texture of the fry.

I know of one park that used to purchase a train car of potatoes (literally) in May. The fry you got in spring was quite different from the one in September. You ever get rice with your potato???

I love the Boardwalk Fries under Corkscrew, Although that is a national Chain (although Small). They have a location on the Boardwalk in Ocean city. Although Thrashers are way better. If someone told me how to make those I would be eternally grateful. I know they require 100% peanut oil, but thats the extent of my knowledge :)

What is the point of flaming someone now for a post that was made in 2002?

I'm a Kennywood fry fan too, but only because I can have gravy with my fries. I wish Cedar Point had all the topping choices that Potato Patch fries have.

I can't believe I just sat here and read throught this entire post. I think I'll get back to work.

Happy frying!

I can't believe you decided to log in and tell us this.
