DIRECTIONS

1.

Place the frozen potatoes in a single layer on a sheet pan lined with pan liner or sprayed with pan release spray.

Do not pan more than you can serve quickly. This product may become soggy. Batch cook to maintain quality.

2.

Bake the french fries according to the oven (combi or convection) and package and/or case directions.

CCP: Heat to 135 degrees F or higher for at least 15 seconds at the completion of the cooking process. If the manufacturer instructions on the package or case have a higher temperature, follow those recommendations.

3.

Use a spatula to remove the potatoes from the sheet pans and place them in half-sized steamtable pans.
 

4.

Serve the french fries immediately. If that is not an option, place them under a heat lamp to keep potatoes crisp. The french fries may also be covered with aluminum foil and placed them in the warmer. Cut holes in the aluminum foil to allow the steam to escape.

CCP: Cover and hold for service at 135 degrees F or higher. Check the temperature every 30 minutes.

5.

Measure a ½  cup serving to determine how many french fries to serve.

Portion each ½ cup serving with a spoon or tongs. Each portion provides ½ cup of starchy vegetable.

CCP:  Hold and maintain product at a minimum temperature of 135 degrees F. Check temperature every 30 minutes. Discard any leftovers.
