These olive oil fries are the perfect side to dress up any dish. Think…fries on the next level kind of good. They are an elegant form of the traditional french fry you’ll want to have with all your meals.
You will need 4-5 gold potatoes, or you can use Sunlite Potatoes. Cut them into 1/2 inch wedges.
Using a large bowl, soak the potatoes in cold water making sure they are fully submerged for at least 1 to 2 hours.
With a sheet pan (or two) lined with paper towels, fully dry the fries.
Heat a large skillet or frying pan with ¼ inch of olive oil to 325°F. Working in batches, put in enough fries without overcrowding the pan. Cook for 6 min, then allow draining on a cooling rack pan while you fry the next batch.
Now, heat the oil to 375°F and fry a second time (working in batches) for 2 min. Place the fries back on the cooling rack to allow the oil to drain once more time.
In a large bowl, add the fries, salt, and parsley and toss to coat. Serve warm along with tzatziki sauce, or just by themselves.
