Garlic Parmesan Fries 🍟 are the Best!!

Ingredients

• 5 pieces Russet Potatoes (medium size, scrubbed clean)
• Enough for deep frying cups Vegetable Oil (high smoke point oil such as canola or peanut oil works well)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter (cut into small pieces for quick melting)
• 1 tablespoon Olive Oil (adds flavor to the garlic butter mix)
• 5 cloves Garlic (minced finely)
• 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese (freshly grated)
• 1 teaspoon Salt (adjust to taste)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley (chopped finely)

Instructions

1. Cut Potatoes

   Scrub the potatoes, then cut each into match‑stick fries or wedges, keeping pieces roughly the same size for even cooking.

   Time: PT5M

2. Rinse and Soak

   Place the cut potatoes in a bowl and rinse under cold water twice, then soak for 2‑3 minutes to remove excess starch.

   Time: PT2M

3. Dry Potatoes

   Drain the potatoes in a colander and pat them completely dry with paper towels; any moisture will cause oil splatter.

   Time: PT2M

4. First Fry (350°F)

   Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches for 6 minutes, stirring gently. They should be soft but not browned.

   Time: PT6M

   Temperature: 350°F

5. Drain and Rest

   Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fries to a paper‑towel‑lined tray to drain and cool for 2 minutes.

   Time: PT2M

6. Second Fry (375°F)

   Raise the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C). Fry the potatoes again for 7 minutes until golden‑brown and crisp.

   Time: PT7M

   Temperature: 375°F

7. Prepare Garlic‑Parmesan Mix

   While the second fry is finishing, melt 2 Tbsp butter with 1 Tbsp olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, then remove from heat.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: medium heat

8. Toss Fries

   Transfer the hot fries to a large mixing bowl. Pour the garlic‑butter mixture over them, add the grated Parmesan, salt, and chopped parsley. Toss gently until evenly coated.

   Time: PT2M
