How to Make Pommes Frites

You may be wondering what the difference is between regular french fries and pommes frites. Well we’re here to tell you.

Pommes Frites is a french term, but depending on who you ask, it’s not technically a French dish. Some say that the original “fry” was invented in Paris in the late 18th century, while others say in was invented by accident in Belgium in the 17th century.

Regardless of where they came from or who invented them, we know one thing for sure – they are delicious!

Why is it called pommes frites?

“Pommes Frites” is a french term. However, it may not mean what you think it does if you translate each word individually.

“Pommes” in French means “Apples,” and “Frites” means “Fries.” But this certainly is not a recipe for Apple Fries.

When you put the words together, the term “Pommes Frites” translates to “French Fries.”

What is the difference between fries and frites?

There are a few key differences between french fries and pommes frites.

Pommes frites are usually double-fried in animal fat, resulting in a fluffier inside and a crispier outside texture. Whereas french fries are usually fried in oil and can vary in texture based on cook time, thickness, etc.

For this recipe, you don’t even need to worry about the technicalities. The air fryer does most of the work for you. All you need to do is enjoy your finished product.

What Air Fryer Do You Use?

I actually have two air fryers, but the one that I use the most is the Cosori Large XL. I LOVE it! Once you start air frying, you definitely want one that fries a lot of extra!

What can you eat with pommes frites?

Pommes frites go really well with many different dishes. You can pair them with burgers, steaks, fish, chicken, or any variation of those.

They are a perfect savory side for any main meat dish. You can even change them up a bit with what seasonings you choose to flavor them with.
