And now we're here with co-creator and executive chef

Chef Freddy, who's going to walk us through the process of making the world's most expensive fries
0:08
Do you wanna hand me the Dom Pérignon? Absolutely. All right. So this process is a three-part cooking process
0:14
for our French fries. For our water, utilize our Dom Pérignon. And for our acid, we're gonna use
0:20
our French champagne vinegar. So you're going for the whole bottle, or just a little bit
0:24
We're going for the whole bottle here. Here, we're gonna bring that to a boil. Then we'll add our French fries
0:29
Now that our Dom Pérignon and our French champagne vinegar has come to a boil, we're gonna add our triple baked potatoes that we've cut
0:34
and placed inside. We're gonna cook it for about two, three minutes or so. These potatoes are ready to go
0:43
We're gonna pull them out and cool them down. We're gonna put it into our refrigerator
0:47
We want to do is cool down entirely. It's gonna develop the skin on top of the potatoes
0:52
That's really gonna help the whole cooking process, which is gonna give us that crispy exterior
0:57
fluffy interior. Cool it down. Okay. And we're gonna come back to that
1:01
So what we're making here is a Mornay sauce. We have to start off with a roux
1:05
We have a truffle butter. We're gonna take our organic flour. We're gonna melt our butter first. Okay
1:15
Then at that point, the next step, we will add our heavy cream. That turns into a bechamel
1:20
I didn't think you were actually gonna use the whole tin. Oh, we're gonna do the whole thing. We're getting in there deep
1:25
All right, so this is that beautiful French raclette. Take a little bite
1:30
There's those truffles inside. It really just adds to the crunch, you know
1:34
And we're just gonna add it all in here, and we're just gonna slow it, slowly stir it. We've blanched in our champagne vinegar
1:42
and Dom Perignon. We've already managed to do our first fry at 325 degrees
1:47
After that first fry, we're then gonna freeze it. It's part of the whole molecular structure
1:51
that we're trying to contain here. So now we're gonna fry it, our final fry at 375 degrees
1:56
We're gonna put it inside into our goose fat. Right in here
2:05
Throw it in the plate. Fries, nice and hot. So you're not skimping on the fries
2:10
No, we're not, we're not. We wanna go nice and big here. Wow
2:14
All right, fries are on the plate. Cheese sauce, mornay. Hit me, hit me with it
2:18
We're gonna throw it in here. Oh, you can already see the gooeyness of the cheese
2:23
Gooeyness, stretchy, unctuous. Time to shave our pecorino. Winter truffles. Truffle oil
2:32
And to finish off, we have our 14 karat gold that we'll be finishing our fries with
2:40
All right, Kevin, here we have world's most expensive French fries. Now what I plan on doing right here, right now
2:45
to chug this mornay's and eat this entire plate as fast as possible. I love it, let's see it
2:53
This is impressive. I see you got the truffle shakes. Yeah, I do. Oh man, oh boy
2:58
Look at this piece. I think it's amazing that I'm eating gold. I'm blown away
3:04
These really are the most expensive fries, and the best. Oh, thank you
3:09
Thank you so much, chef. Awesome, wow. I appreciate it so much, thank you. That's my pleasure
