Ingredients

Ingredients:

10 cloves garlic finely minced
1-2 cups saffola vegetable or canola oil
1 1/2 pounds about 3 medium yukon gold potatoes , cut into 1/4 inch strips
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
kosher salt to taste

Instructions

Place garlic and 1/2 cup of oil in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat until garlic begins to sizzle. Let cook for 3-5 minutes. Do not brown. Strain, reserve both oil and garlic. Allow oil to cool completely.
Place garlic oil and remaining oil in a large skillet. Add potatoes. Oil should just cover the potatoes. Cook over high heat until oil bubbles. Allow to cook for 5 minutes or until the outsides become firm. Stir the potatoes. Continue cooking 15-20 minutes or until fries are golden brown. Stir occasionally while being careful to gently scrape any that stick to the bottom of the pan.
Transfer fries to a paper towel lined plate with a slotted spoon. Season immediately with salt.
Mix reserved garlic with parsley. Sprinkle over the fries. Serve immediately.

Notes

If you want even more garlic, it is not totally unheard of to use a spoon to scoop up and eat what is ever left over after you finish the french fries. Enjoy!
