I meant its possible to fry potatoes and freeze.. Cos of the store bought types.
You can try out a small portion and see how it holds.

Ok I get you now, thanks so much. It's such a nice idea, hate frying all the time cos of oil spill everywhere.

Some bags of fries sold at grocery shops come pre-fried....but I don't know if they put preservatives in them.

They aren't pre-fried.
Store bought Fries are raw pre-cut potatoes , coated with vegetable shortening. That's why they freeze well. You can't freeze & fry without it turn soggy when defrosted/reheated.

Invest in Deep fryer once and for all. Tfal has one that comes with oil filter. Mess free & saves time. wink

I'm confused. If it's pre-fried or whatever then it shoul be golden in colour not white.

Its quite frozen hence the whitish color.
Yes i fry again but I use an air fryer set at 200°c for 10mins and it comes out golden brown.

Hmm.. still not clear enough. Something is fishy. Coz mine are totally raw and white. I think homemade beats anything frozen.

Homemade definitely beats frozen!!!!
But they had the totally raw ones and the pre-fried at the store, I went for the pre-fried cos it had a smaller pack.

Although the instructions says to either deep fry for 3-5mins or heat in the oven for 15-20mins(which from the stuff you posted means it's raw bah?), my air fryer's instruction is to fry for 10-12mins...any longer and it turns black-brown

Mine.
Hand picked the beans.
Rinsed and cooked with plenty water n onion only. Half way through, I changed. Water to prevent running stomach.
Then more onion, seasoning cubes nd salt to taste at the tail end.
I don't have a pressure cooker but the beans was fast to cook.
I bought ewa-oloyin (honey beans)
It's somewhat sweet to taste.

For the topping.
I hand blended the pepper, crayfish and a little tomato. I wanted my sauce to have a little body. Just two pieces or so of tomato.
Then I chopped my onion and sliced some.
Washed my fish with hot water and salt.
Removed all d unwanted part.
Brought my oil to fry, added onion to the oil.
Then the fish, -hubby likes it crunchy
Then d blended tomapep
When fried almost dry, added d seasoning n no salt.
This is because I have salt in d beans n d fish plus I watching my salt intake.
When fried, I added d onion sliced onion n turned of the heat after.

P's
The beans still had little water when I turned off heat. I wanted it smoggy so when serving, I mashed stirred the part to serve well with my cooking spoon to breakdown beans.
I no get gas to cook till it breaks... Lol

I hope this helps.
Let's see pix when u finish.
kiss

It's not a special recipe oooooooo
it's not really different from iomoge2's except that I blended just dried tatashe, crayfish and onions without tomatoes for the toppings plus I also added cayenne pepper to the palm oil and onion for a crispy taste.
Note: to achieve the true ewa agonyin, be generous with your palm oil.

Below is the picture of the dried tatashe.

I have one, I hardly use it cos it consumes lots of oil. I prefer frying with less oil.

I don't think fresh tatashe can be used cos most recipes i've seen call for dried one, no harm is trying sha.

Iv heard good things about the halogen oven but I don't own one, so no first hand experience.

The air fryer is great although iv only used it for 20% of its uses..
