Potato Curls

French Onion Drizzle

Garnish

Method

Potato Curls Preparation

  1. 1

    Prep the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Using a spiralizer or a vegetable peeler, cut the potatoes into curly shapes.

  2. 2

    Fry the Potato Curls

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the potato curls in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Drain and Season

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the curls from the oil and drain them on paper towels. While still hot, season with salt, black pepper, and paprika to taste.

French Onion Drizzle Preparation

  1. 4

    Cook the Onions

    In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the sliced yellow onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 5

    Make the Drizzle

    Once the onions are caramelized, reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream, garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Allow to simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.

Garnishing

  1. 6

    Prepare the Garnish

    Chop the fresh parsley finely. Set aside.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Place the fried potato curls on a serving platter. Drizzle generously with the French onion sauce, sprinkle with capers and fresh parsley for garnish. Serve immediately.
