Shoestring Potatoes Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Potatoes

   Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin shoestrings using a mandoline or a sharp knife. Soak the potato strips in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

2. 2

   Make Garlic Oil

   In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic cloves and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool. Strain out the garlic and set the oil aside.

3. 3

   Fry the Potatoes

   Heat a large pot of oil to 350°F (175°C). Drain the soaked potatoes and dry them thoroughly with paper towels. Fry the potato strips in batches, cooking until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season with salt and black pepper.

4. 4

   Prepare the Aioli

   In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, chopped fresh rosemary, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well until smooth.

5. 5

   Serve

   Plate the crispy shoestring potatoes, drizzle with garlic oil, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, and serve with the rosemary aioli on the side.
