Ingredients
  

For the Fries:
  • 4 large russet potatoes thinly sliced
  • 2 quarts vegetable or peanut oil
  • 2 tablespoons freshly chopped basil
  • 2 tablespoons freshly chopped cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley
  • 2 tablespoons freshly chopped oregano
  • 1 tablespoon flaked sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/3 cup freshly grated parmigiano reggiano cheese

Equipment

  • Large pot or deep fryer
  • Sharp knife or mandoline
  • Slotted spoon
  • Paper towels
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Start by washing and peeling the russet potatoes. Using a sharp knife or mandoline, slice the potatoes thinly, about 1/4 inch thick.
  2. Place the sliced potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes.
  3. In a large pot or deep fryer, heat 2 quarts of vegetable or peanut oil to 350°F (175°C).
  4. Once the oil is hot, drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels. Fry the potatoes in batches for about 4-5 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels. Immediately sprinkle with flaked sea salt, garlic powder, and the freshly chopped herbs.
  6. While the fries are still hot, toss them with the freshly grated parmigiano reggiano cheese.
  7. Transfer the fries to a serving platter or individual bowls and enjoy immediately while hot and crispy.

Notes

  • Soaking the potatoes is key for achieving crispy fries.
  • Feel free to experiment with different herbs based on your taste.
  • Leftover fries can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
