Garlic Fries
Ingredients
2 lb. baking potatoes, peeled and cut into
1/4-inch-thick fries
Vegetable oil for deep-frying
Sea salt, to taste
4 garlic cloves, minced
3 Tbs. chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Directions
Rinse the potatoes and place in a bowl of ice water.
Pour the oil into a deep fryer and heat to 325°F according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Line a tray with paper towels.
Drain and dry the potatoes well. Remove the fryer basket from the oil, place 2 handfuls of potatoes in the basket and lower into the oil. Alternatively, using a skimmer or tongs, carefully lower the potatoes into the oil. Fry until the potatoes are just beginning to brown, about 10 minutes. Drain the fries on the paper towel-lined tray for at least 10 minutes or up to 2 hours.
Reheat the oil to 375°F. Fry the potatoes again in batches until golden brown and crisp, about 2 minutes. Transfer the fries to a heat-resistant bowl, add salt, garlic and parsley, and toss to coat the fries. Serve immediately. Serves 4.
