Making Curly Fries from 1824. Curly Fries! |Real Historical Recipes| 

When you go to Google and look up when were curly fries invented, or even when french fries were invented what you will get is when a food with the modern name "curly fries" was invented, not when curled and fried potatoes came about. Same with "french fries". The term "french fries" or "french fried potatoes" is Victorian yet diced fried potatoes were around much earlier than that, from around the 17th century (at least the mid 18th century for sure). It's the same with what we now call curly fries. Curled, deep fried potatoes have a history that may go back a early as the 17th century however the name "curly fries" is 20th century. While these foods may have had different names over the years, they are essentially the same concept and still delicious!

Fried potatoes are undeniably a timeless joy.

I truly appreciate that there is no talking or distracting music in these cooking videos. They are relaxing and entertaining. Now I want some curled and fried potatoes!!

You really know how to work your fireplace. Very impressive. I would end up burning everything.

Watching Justine sit and work with a towel across her lap, reminds me of my dear grandmother.

I just want to say thank you Justine for helping restore my passion for cooking, your videos are so refreshing and pure. I absolutely love and appreciate everything you and Ron do on both of your channels! God bless you both!

Your cooking videos always make me relax. I love the info, too!

These curly fries look delicious Justine, my mouth was watering just watching you eat them, might try that recipe myself, hi from UK 😎😎🖐

Your channel brings me a lot of comfort. Always relaxing to watch. Thank you. 💖

You are so lucky Ron keeps your knives sharp. You and Ron are my favorites I could watch y’all twice a day. Someone should sponsor your show with stories . Like when you took on the bad guy that was so funny

Yum! Early American curly fries/chips (as the recipe states) lookj delicious. Loved being able to hear the "crunch". Always love your period clothing, and you look adorable yet functional in them. The bonnet is a great touch. Great video!

Hello from Ghana. I love how simple your recipes from the past are.

Justine, mad props for cooking indoors, over an open fire, in the heat of the Summer! You are a tough cookie!! 😀

I'm curious. How much time total do you think went into those curly fries? I'm thinking at LEAST 2-3 hours. I think folks forget how labor intensive it was to have good food vs something you just swallowed to survive.

I eat this 3-4 time's a month😍 Although I'd love to try your's, looks really crunchy! Good thing you don't have a cafe because I'd be there eating lunch all the time 😄

Love crunchy French fries ! Gonna make some of the food you have taught us for our Family Fall party ! Thank you 🙏 🤗🇺🇸

Yalls videos are gems on RU-vid. No one if not anyone presenting cordial, decent early american cooking. 👍

I just love you guys! Hearing the crackling fire without all the jibber jab while you cook is very calming...really like going back in time when it was quite outside of town.

I love the exact measurements... "a quantity of potatoes" LOL!! You need a hearth tuffet to sit on while you cook! Hey, Justine, save some for Ron 😉

I watch these when I have a quiet moment in the day, thank you for making these! Those were probably the best fries you ever ate because they were from scratch! Looked delicious! Keep em coming!!

You might already know but you can feed the peelings to the chickens at least my aunt's did. And sometimes to the pigs. Love both your chanel's!

Those look amazingly delicious! Did people put vinegar on their fries back then? What about tomato ketchup?

Refreshing great video, thank you so much for your creativity and wonderful retro recipies from the Victorian era.

Video was good Justine. Keep up the great work!

يارب أتوسل إليك بحق إسمك الأعظم أن ترزق صاحب اليد التي تدعمني با متابعة ورزق لا ينتهي وتوفيق لا نهاية ♥️🕊️

That crunch! Now for some malt vinegar!

Amazing me they would go to such lengths spiraling potatoes....but we all want variety in our meals....looks delicious, I love crispy. I wonder if they reused the lard? I also can imagine what their dresses looked like at the end of the day, a true testimony of hard labor...

Looks delicious ! I am afraid, a decent Meal from 1824 will be a deluxe Feast in 2024. Greetings from energy crisis haunted Germany. You guys give us hope, Thanks!

What a lovely video as always! I really enjoy it, wish to see more of making sweets too for the next vid

You know something? Sometimes I think we would all be better off living this way again. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy electricity, air conditioning and modern medications, but somedays I would love to be in the middle of the woods just making dinner over an open fire. Somedays. God Bless 🥰

Those look yummy! Ron is going to love them and those fresh tomatoes are just the thing to go with!!

This channel reminds me of little house on the prairie. I love it💕💕

Potatoes are one of few foods that is still very similar to it's original state from the beginning. Most every other fruit or vegetable has mutated heavily other the last 100+ years. Either by nature or by human intervention. Of course potato-based foods existed. The fact that anyone (in the comment section) thinks they have to educate us on how early potato recipes were invented is mind-boggling. Potatoes are the cornerstone of human survival.

You can take lemon peel off in one spiral piece so I’m thinking that’s what they meant in the recipe. But I like your chip pieces also, will have to try it out!

My Mom always used lard to fry her homemade donuts in. Delicious!

Yum! Those look and sound delicious! Blessings, TeresaSue

I love your bonnet, Justine!! Reminds me of Holly Hobby. My niece loved them when she was little.

I love this channel, it's great to see the old ways revived that most people have forgotten. I think in today's time its more imperative we learn how our ancestors did things.

Mmm I'm imagining these dipped into your mushroom catsup 😋

Impressive peeling and cutting skills. Not everyone can do that.

Good lawd those are perfectly fried French fries 🥔 I mean spot on.

Do you have any videos on how you make lard Ms. Justine?

You have a biutiful hands, take care of them.

Delicious..will share it at mewe..i love Videos with historical cooking..when i was a child at 10, my best Female Friend was originated from damascus in syria :) many greetings from Brunswick in Germany and please stay safe.

Yum,,,,,that looks delicious…luv fries, my husband makes on occasion potato chips with lard, only we use an electric skillet ……thanks for this video!

Very Interesting .I didn't know curly fries were made back then .

That girl reminds me of my Mom, starts at 7am and perogies everywhere, I've love being Ukrainian. No love from American early,, shut this site off

yes! another potato based cooking episode!🍀

Thank you for making this wonderful episode today!

Those fries look wonderful! Look to be habit forming!

Curly fries existed in 1824?? MY WRITING SENSES ARE TINGLING.

They sound so crispy and delicious🫢🥔🍟

those fries look Good..nothing more attractive than a lady that knows how 2 cook... thank you for making that yummy goodness..

So relaxing, simple ingredients, comfort food and the taste testing at the end with that crunch! You know those curly fries were good. Yum 😋

It's really dangerous to carry that pot full of boiling oil. You should leave it on the ground and scoop the potatoes out that way. Move it as little as possible until the oil totally cools. You can literally fry your skin if you were to accidentally spill it on yourself.

We've been clogging our arteries for centuries but they are soooooo good. 😁

For real, I'd be so scared to be in that cabin at night. The woods make weird noises at night. Spooky.

Yummy fries or curly fries which are really awesome to me as long their taste food

Wondered where you’d been lol. Love the video. Thanks guys 🤗🙌

As much as I love fries, using lard is not good for my health as I am over 60 years old but they do look very good.

Clearly this was before the adoption of “cut towards your chum, not your thumb” lol

Gracias 🙏.

This looks so yummy! God bless you beautiful girl!❤❤❤

You had me at lard…🤤

You had me at fries ! Thank you for doing this in such hot weather.

And sprinkle the fried potatoes with finely chopped dill.😋😋

I love watchn you cook over the fire &do things like they use to so relaxing calming

Perfectly-timed. A childhood favorite burger bar shut its doors for the last time this summer (Skip's Snack Bar in Merrimack MA), famous for what they called "Suzie-Q" potatoes, hand-cut curly fries, same way the did it since the 40s. ("Hand cut" might have been generous, I just think they used some kind of spiral cut tool rather than mechanical machine, but hey you need the hands right? XD)

I love women in the 1824

I like watching Justine, she's such a pretty young thing.

What no hamburgers...??? Lol. Really enjoy your videos.

Oh delicious love me some curly fries I bet their yummy

Not a doubt in my mind that all of your cooking is "edible'. I keep catching myself wondering why Justine doesn't use this or that special tool for peeling and cutting the curls, but then I see that she does everything with one tool: a knife. She sits in the sunshine, cleans and peels potatoes then cuts the curls, finally going inside to cook them. That is all she needs, not a drawer full of special tools. Thank you Justine. Be well and at peace.

I bet, come the colder days, that fire is going to feel so good to sit by. ☺️

How very interesting and they look so crisp

Ah, but how do you get the grease stains out of that lovely white cloth??

The fries look good but I'll pass on the mustard.

That crunch when you are eating them sounds so tasty!

I can almost smell those fries right now. So hungry.

Ron needs to make you a table for outside work. The cloth in the bowl kind of looks like a pie crust. LOL The fries look so good. As you were eating them, I thought, better save some for Ron.

It’s outstanding how well researched your information is! I love this channel so much!

So crunchy! ❤

Do you really live in that house and with that lifestyle??! It’s so amazing 👍👌

I love it! Never thought about this

Nice video and the potatoes look yummy.

I got too excited when I saw the notification. Awesome video! 😀

😂 there breaking the timeline with these foods

This woman darn near reinventing the 1800s

When you realize this was what it actually looked like back then. Not black and white with a low framrate like it does in your head. Thank you for your videos!
