Fries

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick).

  2. 2

    Soak the Fries

    Soak the cut fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry.

  3. 3

    Fry the Potatoes

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown, about 4-6 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Season the Fries

    While fries are still hot, sprinkle with kosher salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and volcanic sea salt. Toss to coat evenly.

  5. 5

    Make the Goat Cheese Ranch

    In a bowl, combine goat cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, dried dill, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the garlic fries hot with the goat cheese ranch on the side.
