Loved this! More sugar content in your homegrown corn led to darker color. If this is undesirable to you, place the prepared and cut dough in the freezer for 20 minutes beforehand. The main difference in flavor depends on whether the corn is a flint or dent variety. The masa is made from flint corn, and the cornmeal from dent. It comes down to how much starch the plant converts to sugar in end.
The price of the FRITOS has gone up TRIPLE THE PRICE. Thanks for showing us how to make them YUMMY ~ My favorite is the Fritos Jalapeno spice corn chips ~ There habit forming at 7 dollars a small bag ~ NO WAY
I made some the other night. This is what happen and my insight . I tired a mixture of masa and cornmeal, i put my salt and jalapeno powder into them. I roll them out about 1/8" thick. This is what happen. They made like little brown pillows. YUM the texture was like a potato chip and made them even better, the darker brown ones even tasted better> than the golden brown. NOT BURNT ~ here where i failed ! i bag them up hot, and the moisture made them soggy THE TASTE IS BETTER THAN FRITOS and more crunchy like a potato chip. My insight what if you use just jalapeno juice rather than water, what happen if you put some corn starch in them? Things where going to just have to try. But roll them out thicker to make them PILLOWS ! Plus use a pizza roller, to cut them the size your want ~ sprinkle dry masa on your past. Roll the past out on saran wrap, and bend the saran wrap to lift them off>> THERE EXCELLENT ! 👍
Great job!! My idea is to use 90% masa and 10% of the home ground corn. I think that would match the original better. The masa I can find is too finely ground. The taste is right, but not the texture. Adding jalapeno juice sounds great. 🤠
@@DeepSouthTexas This was a 50/50 mixture i like it Just going to have to experiment more on them/ There always room for improvements And i really prefer the pillows over Frito chips. was much more pleasant to eat. easier on your teeth ~ They even tasted better than Frito lays corn chips
I remember my mother bringing home a small bag of a new snack called "Fritos". The name was weird. After the first taste I laughed and said that this is simply fried corn mush with salt and pepper! The concept from poor food to international snack is pure genius. The basic recipe is the same as corn dodgers and dozens of other names around the world. My favorite was lime flavored. All the online recipes forget the pepper. I am going to try adding sweet potato and chili powder for flavor and ditch the salt. The basic recipe begs for variations. The suggestion of using peanut oil sounds like a winner. I wonder if Asian flavors would be interesting? Also Arabic and East Indian?
Dang~! They all look great~~!! The longer oil cooks, the darker foods become generally, so this may be partly responsible. I can't wait to try these! Thank you~!
Thank you for posting your video Larry I will actually trying making them with the maseca. It looks easy/simple to make which I like. I also like how your video was short sweet and to the point. No extra fluff added to the video to make it last longer than necessary. Once again thank you Larry. Now I want some fritos. LOL
Thank you for comparing all 3. I have been trying to figure out which meal to use to make some. I will get some masa. This really helped! I may also try some of the cornmeal I get at the feed store.
@@DeepSouthTexas thanks. I am going to give it a try. Corn chips have taken such a huge price jump over the past month .I may try mixing the masa with some regular corn meal.
My method is, when milling the dried corn kernels into flour, mix in some barcarbonate of soda or baking powder before making it into a dough for lighter & crispier results. Mix the dough with a little oil, then I roll out the dough wafer thin & I do what you did with the pizza cutter, or you can make corn poppadoms, or you can get star shaped dough cutters & have star shaped chips, then you can transfer to a zip lock bag with seasoning & carefully shake the bag to coat the chips with seasoning 😊👌 You can basically use any oil suitable for frying. Sesame seed oil is recommended for flavour. & Dust with black pepper.
Being a Frito lover and having masa and cornmeal and a deep fryer looks like an experiment. Maybe at night. It is 115 degrees in Phoenix in the daytime.
Very nice video. I was sure the Masa would be the best I live waaay off grid up above the snowline in the NE mountains of washington. Looking at BC Canada out my front window. Im 80 n wife is 70. We have hundreds of pounds of masa.. we do a lot of traditional mexican cooking. Like to make fritos and Dorito chips and all kinds of tortillas tamales etc. Enjoyed seeing your version. Nice job. Dandahermit😅
Hi Larry. My Connecticut mouth is salivating. You always do entertaining and informative videos. I'm wondering if your homemade cornmeal had more natural sugars in it causing it to brown more?
They look good, Larry. May be the Fritos have spices in them that you don't know about which gives them their own unique flavor. Very enjoyable. Thanks.!!
I think they only list corn, salt, and corn oil. These tasted pretty much like Fritos. The main difference was the texture. What ever they use is more coarse than what I used. 🤠
@@DeepSouthTexas I looked up MSDS for Fritos Corn Chips. lol They do list the ingredients you listed plus they also list dietary fibers, which might be in the corn already, and calcium. I'm not surprised they don't list proprietary ingredients or a recipe. I will try your method plus taste the dough and add one thing and another to see if I can get some improvement over store bought corn meal or even corn flour.
I stock up from dollar tree... yesterday I put them all back after realizing it has bioengineered ingredients. No thanks, I'll make my own. Thanks for showing us how.
Hi Larry. As you started, it took so long for the chips to brown that I wondered if your oil was hot enough. So, I’m guessing the reason your homeground cornmeal chips (which I wish I could have tasted!) came out darker because you fried those last, giving the oil time to heat up. Has anybody tried these in an air fryer?
have a question... I bought a couple of sweet potatoes from the supermarket, left them with the regular potatoes.. sweet potatoes have sprouts all over them... should I plant them at this stage in the growing season, or just toss them?
I wouldn't throw them away. Plan them! Then they'll Sprout up called drawls. Plant the drawers. And you'll have potatoes and a lot of them. Of course the sweet potatoes must be aged before they're cooked so they'll be sweeter. Good luck.
What type of corn did you grow? The field or dent corn is probably used for most corn products. If you grow normal sweet corn they probably would not come out as well cooked as chips.
@@DeepSouthTexas your field corn may have had a higher sugar content than the corn used to make the commercially made masa flour. Higher sugar = more browning.
That is exactly what I have been thinking. Also the masa I can buy is a little too fine for making Frito's, so I am thinking of making my own, just a little coarser grind. 🤠
I'm thinking that your home-grown corn turned out darker probably because it wasn't treated with lime first. Masa has been. I'm not sure about corn meal or corn flour.
Thanks for the video. Maybe I'm misunderstanding. I expected to find masa cornmeal for sale. I'm finding masa corn *flour* and cornmeal that's not called masa.
love it when people keep it real. he wanted the home grind to be the best but it didn't make the grade. respect man
Appreciate that! 🤠
They still looked inviting to me.
When I saw it said "Frito Style", I couldn't pass it up! They're a favorite around the world!! Thanks a bunch for sharing with us!!!
I am happy you enjoyed the video! 🤠

I love corn chips and will get out my deep fat fryer so I can enjoy these tomorrow.
Another great, scratch made recipe, Larry.
Take care and stay safe,

You can do it! Thank you. 🤠
@@DeepSouthTexas No thank you for posting it for those who want to try it on their own. Much appreciated.
Thanks you 😊
I’ll have to try it with masa, I keep a bag for tortillas. Any of these are best in a bowl of chili. Great video!
Masa will be the best.

Paying 3.99 for Fritos! So of course I've been craving them everyday. Thanks!
I,m come across the video tonight and I'm going to do that soon☑️
Good luck!! 🤠
I'd be interested in substituting the water for milk, and frying them in peanut oil. Great video! Makes me want to try some of my own

Masa tastes the most like Fritos, but the texture is wrong, too fine. I am thinking about making my own masa, and grind it a little coarser. 🤠

Nope, Frito brand only has 3 ingredients. Corb, corn oil and salt

Is that it im surprised it so easy ima try this out
Good luck! 🤠
Hi Larry, is the masa an harina pan?
Possibly some extra moisture in the home-made cornmeal which caused them to come out darker
Could be the case. 🤠

@@DeepSouthTexas ♥️♥️♥️
Have you had trader joes "Corn Dippers" ? Wondering which one would be closest to that?
I have not had them. 🤠
have a question... I bought a couple of sweet potatoes from the supermarket, left them with the regular potatoes.. sweet potatoes have sprouts all over them... should I plant them at this stage in the growing season, or just toss them?
I think it is the wrong time of year to plant them now. 🤠
@@DeepSouthTexas thanks... thought so, just figured I should ask someone with experience. 🙄
They're not edible if they have sprouts?
@@okairo-9658 they are smaller potatoes and the sprouts are pretty long already... about 5 inches at least

The natural doesn't have chemicals and preservatives added to it.

Field corn. 🤠
@@DeepSouthTexas your field corn may have had a higher sugar content than the corn used to make the commercially made masa flour. Higher sugar = more browning.

That is exactly what I have been thinking. Also the masa I can buy is a little too fine for making Frito's, so I am thinking of making my own, just a little coarser grind. 🤠
What if you used a metal sieve in the oil? Couldn't you put them all in/out more easily?
Yes, I think so. 🤠
So it's about three hundred somthin degrees in there?
Sounds right. 🤠
The last one is darker cause you didn't change the oil??
I do not think that is the reason. 🤠
I bet they don't smell as bad as the store bought chip. I'll try this
Good luck. 🤠
That’s funny. Fritos smell remind me stinky feet
You grew “Sweet corn”. Right? It always comes out darker when it’s fried.
No, it was field corn. 🤠
I'm thinking that your home-grown corn turned out darker probably because it wasn't treated with lime first. Masa has been. I'm not sure about corn meal or corn flour.
The home grown corn was a mix of yellow, blue, red, and orange kernels. That also changes the color somewhat. 🤠
Greetings Larry, when do I come and taste test? haha
Any time. 🤠
Thanks for the video. Maybe I'm misunderstanding. I expected to find masa cornmeal for sale. I'm finding masa corn *flour* and cornmeal that's not called masa.
I am not sure you can find masa corn meal. I have considered making my own. I think the texture would be better than the flour. 🤠
@@DeepSouthTexas Thank you.
Hey Larry
Hey. 🤠
I havn't made mine yet but I am going to put some shredded sharp cheddar cheese mixed in with the corn and see what happens
Sounds good! 🤠
They will burn.
does the corn meal need to be selfrising or no.
Thanks in advance and may THE LORD JESUS bless you and yours
It was not. 🤠
Maybe darker because of sugar Content in your corn.
Maybe. Also it still has the germ in it. 🤠
Can i eat? 😁
Yes. 🤠
Try 50/50 cornmeal/flour mixture. Get creative. Spice it up. Some of the water can be replaced with hot sauce.
That sounds like a great idea! 🤠
Instead of water use corn oil...oops you are
