Question about serving temperature

Hello! Do you pipe the crème France when the potatoes are right out of the oven or do you let them cool? Also, do you recommend serving these hot or closer to room temp?

The more you let them cool, the more you risk seeing them lose their crispiness. I don't know about you but I don't care much for cold french fries. If you haven't garnished them, you can toss them back in the oven to crisp back up a little though.

I would pretty much prefer to serve/eat these warm. I'd just let them cool down a little so the crème fraîche doesn't immediately melt into a puddle of liquid.

Anyhow best of luck.

Hi Lynx!

I would let these cool just slightly, just until ready to eat essentially. Then I'd pipe the crème fraîche and garish.

I personally would prefer them hot but if you want them room temperature you can let them cool completely before garnishing.

Hope this helps!
