So I just started a food booth and am making fresh cut fries. I don’t have the refrigerator space to chill my cut fries in water before cooking. Also don’t have the storage space to precook the fries at 300 before then drain and cook again at higher temps when orders come in. Wondering what would be the best method, oil, temp to just take my whole potato, cut them and drop em for cooking.
My process now, I use the large Idaho potato and have a fry cutter. I slice the whole potato into a small container and drop straight into my oil. Using vegetable oil with a table top deep fryer at 375 and I cook for about 6-7 min. They do sometimes stick together so about 1-2 min in I’ll pull the basket out give em a shake then drop them back in to finish.
Any suggestions on how to make this process stay simple and get some better fries? Small booth, not a lot of storage but at times we’ve gotten busy and go through a fair amount of fries.

You’re out of options. But you are to be commended for making honest potatoes instead of just using a frozen commodity product. If you want pluperfect french fries you have to blanch, rest, and refry. There’s no getting around the process.
