Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 6 cups Vegetable oil
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin, uniform strips about 1/4 inch wide.
Place the potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.
In a large, heavy pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
Working in small batches, fry the potatoes for 3 to 4 minutes until they are light golden but not fully crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a wire rack or paper towels to drain.
Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C). Return the partially cooked fries to the oil in small batches and fry for another 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Drain and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Pour the garlic butter over the hot fries. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Toss everything together until the fries are evenly coated.
Serve immediately while hot and crispy. Enjoy your Garlic Fries the Real Deal!
