Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

The Potatoes
  • 4 large Russet potatoes peeled and cut into batons
  • 1 quart vegetable or peanut oil for frying
  • 1 tbsp white vinegar for soaking water
Garlic Butter Glaze
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 3 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 tsp kosher salt or to taste
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper

Equipment

  • Dutch Oven or Deep Fryer
  • Wire rack
  • Spider Strainer
  • Large Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. Wash, peel, and cut potatoes into uniform 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick sticks.
  2. Soak potato sticks in cold water with vinegar for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
  3. Drain potatoes and pat completely dry with paper towels to prevent oil splatter.
  4. Heat oil in a heavy pot to 325°F (163°C). Blanch fries in batches for 4-5 minutes until soft but not browned. Remove and drain.
  5. Increase oil heat to 375°F (190°C). Return fries to oil and cook for 2-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  6. While fries cook, whisk together melted butter, minced garlic, and parsley in a large bowl.
  7. Immediately transfer hot cooked fries to the bowl and toss vigorously to coat in garlic butter.
  8. Season generously with salt and serve immediately while glistening and hot.

Notes

Ensure oil returns to temperature between batches for the crispiest results.
