Ingredients
  

For the Fries
  • 4 large Russet Potatoes For ideal texture
  • 1 tablespoon Cornstarch For coating before second fry
  • 1 teaspoon Salt For boiling water and seasoning
  • Oil for frying High smoke point oil like vegetable or canola
For Flavoring
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter For flavoring fries
  • 3 cloves Garlic Cloves Minced
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley Finely chopped for garnish
  • 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese To toss with fries
  • Truffle Oil Optional: For drizzling

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by washing and peeling the russet potatoes. Cut them into even fries, about 1/4 inch thick, ensuring they cook evenly.
  2. Place the cut fries in a big bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
  3. Drain the fries and place them in a pot filled with salted water. Boil for about 5 minutes, until just tender but not fully cooked. Drain and let them cool.
  4. Once cooled, toss the fries in cornstarch until evenly coated.
Frying
  1. Heat oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Fry the potatoes in batches until they are golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
  2. In a separate pan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat and add the minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant.
Combining
  1. Remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. Immediately toss them in the garlic butter, then sprinkle with grated parmesan and chopped parsley.
  2. Drizzle with truffle oil just before serving if desired.

Notes

These fries are best served hot and crispy! Pair them with a dipping sauce like aioli, ketchup, or a spicy mayo for extra flavor. They can also be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days and reheated in the oven.
