Ingredients
Scale
- 4 Russet potatoes
- Peanut oil or canola oil or vegetable oil
- 4 cloves freshly minced garlic
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Fine sea salt or kosher salt
- Freshly cracked black pepper
- Fresh parsley or chives (optional)
- Garlic powder (optional)
- Onion powder (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the potatoes. Peel and cut them into even matchsticks, about ¼-inch thick. Soak in cold water for at least 30 minutes.
- Drain and dry the potatoes thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel.
- Heat the frying oil in a pot to about 300°F (150°C).
- Blanch the potatoes in batches for about 5-7 minutes until pale and cooked through.
- Cool the blanched fries completely, ideally by refrigerating them for 20-30 minutes.
- Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C).
- Fry the blanched fries again in batches for 3-5 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Drain the fries on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
- Toss hot fries with minced garlic, grated Parmesan, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl.
- Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
For an extra kick, consider adding chili powder or smoked paprika. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
