Method

For the Chips

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thick strips (about 1/2 inch wide).

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

    Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Fry the Chips

    Remove the potatoes from the water and pat them dry with a towel. Carefully add the potatoes to the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.

  5. 5

    Drain and Season

    Remove the fried chips with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels. Immediately sprinkle with salt while still hot.

For the Scallops

  1. 6

    Season the Scallops

    Pat the scallops dry with paper towels, then season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 7

    Sauté the Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. 8

    Cook the Scallops

    Add the scallops to the skillet in a single layer. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and opaque in the center.

  4. 9

    Add Lemon Juice

    Drizzle the lemon juice over the scallops and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before removing from heat.
