French fries and mac N cheese. Cause both times it's a recipe I came up with on my own.
With Mac N cheese, the problem was lack of availability of good cheeses where I live. So I made a change to the recipie. Put 2 parts milk, one part cheese slice, and some flavouring oil. I create the flavour oil by heating garlic and onion on very slow heat for like half an hour. The oil gets the confiet garlic flavour, even though garlic crisps up because gas stove is still too hot for the task, and then add the milk and cheese. And damn it turned out great. Just put a little sugar so it emulates cream a little more.
Then fries, I'm trying to make crispy fries that don't require pulling in and out of freezer, or even double frying. My last batch was sloppy, but I was 85℅ successful. I must experiment a little more to see if it's even possible to make them 100℅ as perfectly crispy as you get in restaurants, but I'll try, and if successful, will share the recipe.
I'm a cs graduate, I wish someday there are real projects that I've worked on that I would be proud of, but for now it's just these small achievements😅.
Edit: NOT one part flavouring oil. I use a lot less. I don't measure it out, but when I'm using 2 part's cheese, I usually go for a table spoon or two.
I expect to see you showing this off in !cooking@lemmy.world soon! Lol
