Ingredients
  

Garlic Parmesan Fries Components
  • 2 lbs Russet Potatoes Thick-cut into 1/2 inch sticks
  • 2 quarts Vegetable Oil For deep frying
  • 4 tbsp Unsalted Butter Melted
  • 4 cloves Garlic Minced and toasted
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese Finely grated
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley Finely chopped
  • 1 tsp Sea Salt Crystals Coarse

Equipment

  • 1 Dutch Oven or Deep Fryer For maintaining consistent oil temperature.
  • 1 Digital Probe Thermometer Essential for monitoring oil heat.
  • 1 Large Stainless Steel Mixing Bowl For tossing fries with butter and cheese.
  • 1 Microplane grater To achieve snow-white fine cheese texture.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Scrub potatoes and cut into 1/2-inch sticks. Soak in ice water for 30 minutes to remove starch, then pat completely dry.
  2. Heat oil to 325°F (163°C). Blanch potatoes for 5-6 minutes until tender but pale. Drain and rest for 15 minutes.
Finishing
  1. Melt butter in a pan, add minced garlic, and sauté until golden brown bits form. Set aside.
  2. Increase oil to 375°F (190°C). Fry blanched potatoes for 2-3 minutes until deep golden-brown with charred edges.
  3. Transfer hot fries to a bowl, pour over the garlic butter glaze, and toss with Parmesan, parsley, and sea salt.
