Process for preparing parfried and frozen potato products

摘要

A process for preparing parfried and frozen potato products and potato products produced thereby, which when reconstituted by finish frying or microwave oven heating have an organoleptic appeal of "fast food chain french fries" potato products. Presliced potatoes are subjected to a first parfrying step, a first freezing step, a thawing step following the first freezing step, a second parfrying step and a second freezing step following the second parfrying step. The frozen potatoes may be reconstituted by microwave heating just prior to consumption.
