Best French Fries on the whole island

I didn't mean exactly in Sosua. When we did see it it was on the way to the Rum factory.

Thanks

Well it's still there, only past the rum factory, at the Shell station across from the Stadium.

Thanks now I know

Actually the best ones I've had in the whole DR was at Parador Cruce de Ocoa, which is one of those rest places by the side of the highway on the way to Azua. Maybe we were hungry or maybe it was because they had just cooked a fresh batch, but my son (who's very picky) was very impressed and made me stop on the way back for some more...

You take some potatoes peel them and cut them in the desired shape rectagular with 8mm thick.

you heet some oil or better still beeffat to 150°c put the potatoes in the oil. The oil will cool down and when it reaches 150°c again you take the pre-deepfried fries out and let them cool down. When they are cooled down you put them in the same oil or fat but this thime it has to be at 180°c untill they are golden brown. SHake or wipe off the exces oil/fat, put on som salt (optional) and serve with mayonaise.

Lou of former Shark Bar fame makes the most authentic Fresh Nathan's NY Style French Fries. I can not wait for Sharky's to open soon.

The beef fat gave it away.
No nation takes so much pride in their french fries as the Belgians, and deservedly so. The Belgian restaurant in Santo Domingo surely must have had good ones, a pity it's closed now.

The mayonnaise did it for me.

Years ago we had a small fridge at work which was meant to be used for milk only. You know what those Brits are like with their tea.

We had a Belgian colleague who received a special dispensation from the boss (in the spirit of multicultural tolerance, because he had to have it for his chips) to keep mayonnaise in the milk fridge. He stuck a label on it with 'I can't believe it's not milk'.

I'm much more likely to put mayonnaise on my chips than milk in my tea, that is if I ever drink tea.
