Ingredients:
- 600g potatoes
- 2 tablespoons corn flour
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons finely minced garlic
- Oil for frying
Instructions:
- Prepare the Potatoes: Begin by peeling the potatoes and cutting them into thin strips. Try to keep the size consistent for even cooking.
- Blanch the Fries: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Blanch the potato strips for about 3-4 minutes. Drain them and let them cool.
- Corn Flour Coating: Once cooled, pat the potato strips dry with a towel. Place them in a large bowl and sprinkle with corn flour. Toss until the fries are evenly coated.
- First Fry: Heat oil in a deep fryer or a large, deep pan to 160°C (320°F). Fry the potato strips in batches for 15 minutes each, or until they are soft but not browned. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels. Let them cool for a few minutes.
- Second Fry: Increase the oil temperature to 190°C (374°F). Return the fries to the oil in batches and fry for an additional 5 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oil and drain on fresh paper towels.
- Garlic Butter Mixture: While the fries are cooling from their second fry, melt the butter in a small pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté until it’s fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Toss Fries in Garlic Butter: Transfer the crispy fries to a large bowl. Pour the garlic butter over the fries and toss gently until they are well coated.
- Serve: Serve the garlic butter french fries hot, with your favorite dipping sauce or as they are, and enjoy the rich, garlicky goodness.
These garlic butter french fries are a fantastic way to upgrade your fry game, offering a delightful combination of flavors that will have everyone asking for more. Happy cooking!
