ABSTRACT:
A process is provided for producing parfried and frozen potato product strips including but not limited to French fries, wherein the potato strips are adapted for reconstitution, immediately prior to consumption, in a microwave oven, conventional oven, convection oven, or finish fryer with highly desirable taste, color, and textural characteristics. The process comprises parfrying the potato strips under controlled time and temperature conditions to include two parfrying steps with an intermediate cooling step wherein the strips preferably are frozen to reduce the moisture content of the strips in accordance with a predetermined relationship of strip size, strip surface area, and moisture loss during processing. Potato strips prepared in accordance with the invention have been found to reconstitute with substantially optimum taste, color, and textural characteristics irrespective of the method of reconstitution, which may include microwave oven heating, heating in a conventional oven, convection oven heating, and finish frying in hot oil.
