Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary
- 1.5 teaspoons Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut each potato into thin sticks approximately 1/4-inch thick to resemble traditional French fries.
Place the cut potatoes into a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for 15-20 minutes. This helps remove excess starch, making them crispier.
Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them completely dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Chop the fresh rosemary finely and set aside.
In a large heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a kitchen thermometer to ensure accurate oil temperature.
Working in small batches to avoid overcrowding, carefully add the potatoes to the hot oil. Fry for 5-7 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat until all potatoes have been lightly fried.
Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C). Fry the pre-cooked potatoes a second time in batches for 2-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a fresh paper towel-lined plate.
Immediately after frying, while the fries are still hot, transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the fries, then sprinkle the finely chopped rosemary, sea salt, and ground black pepper. Toss gently to coat evenly.
Serve the rosemary French fries immediately as a side dish or snack. Enjoy them on their own or pair with your favorite dipping sauce.
