Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
- 4 large Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and peel the russet potatoes, then cut them into thin strips about 1/4 inch wide.
Rinse the cut potatoes under cold water to remove excess starch, then soak them in a large bowl of cold water for 30 minutes. Drain them and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large heavy-bottomed pot to 325°F (165°C).
Working in small batches, fry the potato strips for 3-4 minutes until they are light golden but not fully crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined tray. Repeat with the remaining potatoes.
Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C). Fry the potatoes a second time in small batches for 2-3 minutes until they are golden and crispy. Remove and drain on fresh paper towels.
While the fries are hot, season them with salt and black pepper.
Mince the garlic cloves finely. In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat, then add the minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the hot fries, garlic butter, and chopped parsley. Toss well to evenly coat the fries.
Serve immediately and enjoy your garlicky French fries!
