Method

Potato Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

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

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

    In a large bowl, combine the cut potatoes with cold water and add 2 tablespoons of salt. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 3

    Dry the Potatoes

    After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Frying the Potatoes

  1. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a large, heavy pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use enough oil to fully submerge the potatoes.

  2. 5

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the dried potato strips to the hot oil in batches. Fry for 4-5 minutes or until golden and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Herb Seasoning

  1. 6

    Add Rosemary and Cheese

    While the fries are still hot, sprinkle the chopped fresh rosemary and grated Grana Padano cheese over them. Toss to evenly coat.

Harissa Aioli

  1. 7

    Make the Harissa Aioli

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, harissa paste, minced garlic cloves, and lemon juice. Mix until smooth. Season with salt to taste.
