Instructions
Wash and peel the potatoes, leaving some skin for a rustic look. Cut into ¼-inch sticks and soak in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
Drain and pat dry thoroughly. Heat oil to 325°F (160°C) and fry in small batches for 3–4 minutes until tender but not browned. Drain on paper towels.
Raise the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C) and fry again in batches for 3–5 minutes until golden and crispy. Drain on fresh paper towels.
Melt butter in a skillet over low heat, add minced garlic, and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour over hot fries, toss to coat, sprinkle with Parmesan and parsley, and season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
