After decades of consolidation, just four firms now control at least 97 percent of the $68 billion frozen potato market. A new spate of antitrust lawsuits accuses them of brazen price-fixing.
ofc I have. Even IF it doesn’t splash any flour out the side due to shifting of flour in the early stages, the ring of glue inevitably left on the bowl and the attachments requires cleanup. Have to split/prep the kneaded dough into loaves? How you do that? On a floured surface. With fries you rinse the knife, mandolin and bowl in water and wipe dry. You arguing this is even close is ridiculous.
So not all that trivial since you need to put the oil in some sort of disposal container, hope it doesn’t spill so you don’t have to clean that up, then drive it to an oil reclamation site.
It’s also, (what a surprise), not at all related to the original statement which was about making the frozen fries. However you cook the fries (deep fryer, air fried, baked) is not part of the discussion on store bought vs. homemade
Bread baking is hardly trivial. 10 min of kneading alone makes it a poor comparison let alone the 5 hr rise.
Fry making is cut, wash, boil in salted water with a splash of vinegar until soft but still holds, rinse, dry, and freeze. Freezing is the trick btw.
It’s trivial with a bread machine, just like restaurant-style French fries are trivial with a mandolin and a deep fryer.
…and the 5hr rise, and the disaster you need to cleanup? Bread making is anything but trivial even with an expensive machine. It’s a bad comparison.
What disaster? Have you never used a bread machine? You throw all the ingredients in, press the button, a few hours later you have bread.

What about disposing of all that oil you’re deep frying with? Just pour it down the drain?
We have oil reclamation sites that accept all oils, vehicular to cooking.

Think I’d rather make bread.

No-knead breads exist and are delicious.
