Hello, welcome back to a new review for Tyler’s French Fries! This review comes from Wapakoneta, after a pleasant 90 minute drive from home, on the way to a beach for a day in the sun. This is Lucky Steer Restaurant, on the east edge of Wapakoneta, right off the highway.

Address: 1381 Bellefontaine St, Wapakoneta, OH 45895

Cut: Crinkle Cut

Thickness: 5.5/10

Crispiness: 3.5/10

Salt/Seasoning: None.

Price: $2.49/serving (pictured, two servings).

These fries are a thicker crinkle cut style, about a 5.5 thickness, ever so slightly less thick than the last review at Todd’s Mountain View Restaurant. Fries have a very flaky interior, but little crisp on the outside. The exterior appearance would hint at more crispiness, but it’s just not present. Fries were very hot and fresh, and had a very good taste to them. The serving size was slightly small for the price, but pretty close to typical either way. Overall, a well cooked fry that is a little on the blander side, with a very good inside, and a slightly less than ideal outside. Still, I would definitely recommend this place if you are in the area.

Hello, and thanks for coming back to a new review of fries from me, Tyler! Yesterday morning, I went to another place in Lancaster, and got some breakfast at this place, Todd’s Mountain View Restaurant. This is my review, enjoy!

So, these fries are a fairly thick, crinkle cut variety. The serving size is average, though quite filling overall due to how thick the fries are, you get a little more bang for your buck than just the number of fries on the plate might suggest. The best characteristic of these is how flaky they are on the inside, the exterior isn’t quite as crispy as the browning color might indicate (and the areas that are particularly brown aren’t necessarily any crispier than the other, more golden areas), but the interior of the fries is great. Fries were served warm and fresh, with no salt or seasoning. These are well prepared, good tasting french fries overall, but are definitely trending toward the bland side.

For today’s review, this is a very special review. For the past three or so months, I have been growing potatoes in my own raised garden bed, and (apologies for the delay), a few weeks ago, I harvested the potatoes. This was a little bit premature, as the plants were set a bit too close to each other, and were fighting each other for sunlight. As such, before they could completely die, I decided to harvest and cook up what I managed to grow. This is the result.

What I managed to get was about two plates worth of fries, this one was slightly smaller than the other. How did I do? Pretty good. Cut with my fry cutter into shoestring fries, and air fried for about 20 minutes (my wife refuses to let me get a deep fryer, something about keeping me alive, idk.) These fries turned out very good, and the straight out of the ground freshness was apparent through the cooking process, and in the taste, everything had to be done for about 1.5 times longer to get the same amount of crisp, cooking heat, etc. Overall, I’ve learned a good amount about how to grow potatoes, and am starting a second round, to hopefully grow during the heat of the summer, so the potatoes are ready to grow well when we get near fall. For this, I’ll keep everyone updated.
