INGREDIENTS YOU NEED:

- Garlic
- Parmesan cheese
- Parsley
- Salt and pepper
- Cornstarch
- Vegetable oil
TIPS FOR THE CRISPIEST GARLIC BUTTER PARMESAN FRIES
- Soak the Potatoes: Soak sliced potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps achieve a crispier fry.
- Dry Thoroughly: After soaking, dry the potatoes completely with a towel. Moisture left on the fries will cause them to steam instead of crisp up.
- Use High-Heat Oil: Choose an oil with a high smoke point, like vegetable or peanut oil, to ensure the fries cook evenly without burning.
- Season After Frying: Wait to add salt until the fries are out of the oil; this prevents them from getting soggy.
- Infuse the Butter: Melt butter with minced garlic and herbs over low heat to release their flavors, then toss the hot fries in this mixture for maximum flavor.
- Add Parmesan Last: Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan over the fries while they’re hot, so it melts slightly and clings to the fries.
- Serve Immediately: Crispy fries are best enjoyed right away, as they tend to soften over time.

CRISPY GARLIC BUTTER PARMESAN FRIES
Ingredients
POTATOES
- 3 large potatoes
- 2-3 tbsp cornstarch
- vegetable oil for frying
GARLIC BUTTER PARMESAN SAUCE
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 5 garlic cloves minced
- 3 tbsp parmesan cheese
Instructions
MAKE THE GARLIC BUTTER
- In a small bowl, combine melted butter, parsley, garlic, Parmesan. Stir until well mixed, then set aside.
PREPARE THE FRIES
- Rinse the potatoes, then slice each vertically into 1/4-inch thick rectangles. Stack and cut them into 1/4-inch fries. Adjust thickness as desired.
- Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of ice water and soak for 30 minutes. Drain and rinse 2-3 times, shaking to remove excess starch.
- Dry the potatoes and place in a large bowl, sprinkle with cornstarch, and shake to coat evenly.
- Heat oil in a pan over medium-low to about 250°F. Fry the potatoes in batches for 3-5 minutes, ensuring they hold their shape but don’t brown yet. Remove and let cool.
- Increase the oil temperature to 350°F. Fry the potatoes again in batches until they’re golden and crispy, stirring to ensure even browning.
- Transfer fries to a wire rack, sprinkle with salt, then toss in garlic butter until evenly coated. Adjust salt as needed.
