French Fry cutters

Not a fan of the horizontal mount. (Yeah, I know.)

I also prefer wall mounted, letting gravity fill the bucket.

I worked under a French chef who insisted that we sort through the cut potatoes, and discard the small nuggets/shards that make the fries at Jimmy’s, RHR, etc. so addictive. He was also very specific about frying temps and length of the first fry.

That seems to be a bygone practice. It used to be most french fries would be several inches long, no matter where you got them. These days it seems most fries I get from almost every restaurant are only an inch or two at most.

Ore Ida produces McDonald shoestrings. (3/16”) and sells those too short to Sysco.
Any remaining potato becomes Tater Tots/Barrels.
