Want to eat the most expensive fries in the world? You have to go to New York (video)

This is the last crazy idea that American gastronomy offers us: the most expensive package of fries in the world.

As the Reuters agency explains to us, it was chef Joe Calderone in his restaurant “Serendipity 3” located in Manhattan (New York), who had the crazy idea of ​​creating these fries that want to be exceptional.

But what’s so amazing about them?

The chef has devised an original recipe to sell them at a high price. “Les Pommes Frites Crème de la Crème” as he called them, are filled with truffles, covered with edible 23 carat gold dust and cost the astronomical sum of 200 dollars or 170 euros.

The Guinness Book of Records certified the feat on July 13, officially making them the most expensive fries on the planet. The chef is used to making records since he has already imagined the most expensive burger and sundae (ice cream) in the world.

Recipe

If you feel like trying the “Creme de la Crème Fries” at home, you will need Chipperbec potatoes. They are blanched, or scalded, in vinegar and champagne.

They are then fried in pure goose fat. Fortunately, the New York chef has not forgotten the essential double cooking, as is done in the best chip shops in Belgium, a sine qua non condition for the fries to be crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

Sprinkled with edible gold and seasoned with salt and truffle oil, they are served on a crystal plate with an orchid, thin slices of truffles and a Mornay cheese sauce. The sauce is also infused with truffles.

If you want to try these fries on the spot, don’t forget to book early enough as the waiting list is already eight to ten weeks. Otherwise, don’t forget that it is always in Belgium that we create the best fries in the world.
