1
Cutting Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
2
Soaking Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.
3
Drying Potatoes
After soaking, drain the water and pat the potatoes dry with paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible.
4
Heating Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.

5
Frying Process
Carefully add a batch of dried potato strips to the hot oil. Don’t overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
6
Draining Fries
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt while they are still hot.

7
Preparing Garlic Butter
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic (chop the garlic cloves finely) and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
8
Combining Ingredients
Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley. Mix well.

9
Tossing Fries
In a large bowl, combine the hot fries with the garlic butter mixture. Toss well to ensure all fries are coated.
10
Serving Suggestion
Serve immediately while hot, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
