Fries
Garlic Topping
Method
Preparing the Fries
- 1
Cutting the Potatoes
Start by washing the russet potatoes under cold water. Cut them into thin strips to create fries. Aim for uniform thickness to ensure even cooking.
- 2
Soaking the Fries
Soak the cut fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch, resulting in crispier fries.
- 3
Drying the Fries
After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
- 4
Cooking the Fries
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the dried fries in batches, frying them until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Season with salt immediately.
Preparing the Garlic Topping
- 5
Mincing the Garlic
While the fries are cooking, mince the garlic cloves finely. This will help to distribute the garlic flavor throughout the fries.
- 6
Chopping the Parsley
Finely chop the fresh parsley, ensuring there are no large pieces.
- 7
Combining the Topping
In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped parsley, and shredded parmesan cheese. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
Serving
- 8
Tossing the Fries
Once all fries are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl. Add the garlic topping mixture and toss gently to ensure the fries are well-coated with the garlic, parsley, and cheese.
