Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 500 grams potatoes, peeled and cubed Russet potatoes are ideal for fries.
- 1 teaspoon salt (for boiling) Enhances the flavor of the potatoes.
- 1/3 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese Adds a rich, savory note.
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons potato starch Essential for achieving crispiness.
- 1 tablespoon potato starch (for dusting)
- Fresh parsley, chopped Provides brightness in flavor.
- Oil for frying Use enough oil to submerge the fries.
Instructions
Preparation
- Boil the potato cubes in salted water until they are fork-tender, about 10-15 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly.
- Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
- In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with black pepper, chopped parsley, grated Parmesan, and 4 tablespoons of potato starch. Stir until well incorporated.
Shaping and Frying
- Divide the mixture into two equal portions and roll each into a dough ball.
- Dust your work surface with potato starch and roll out each ball into a rectangle about 1/2-inch thick.
- Cut the rolled-out dough into strips to form fries.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pan over medium heat. Add the potato strips in batches and fry until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the fries and drain them on a wire rack over paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Serving
- Serve hot, optionally sprinkled with additional grated Parmesan.
Notes
Add garlic powder or paprika for extra flavor. Consider baking instead of frying for a healthier option.
