Garlic Fries San Francisco

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 1 to taste salt and pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Set the oven to 425°F and wait until the indicator light or beep tells you it has finished heating, about 10 minutes.

2. 2

   Scrub the potatoes under cold running water with a vegetable brush to remove any dirt, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

3. 3

   Place each potato on a cutting board and cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slabs, like slicing bread; then cut each slab lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick fries, similar to the thickness of a pencil.

4. 4

   Place the cut fries in a large bowl, drizzle with 3 tablespoons olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss with your hands until every piece is evenly coated.

5. 5

   Spread the fries in a single layer on a sheet pan, leaving no overlaps so they roast instead of steam, then place the pan in the preheated oven.

6. 6

   Roast for 15–18 minutes, stirring the fries once halfway through (at about 8 minutes), until the surface turns the color of warm honey and the edges are slightly darker.

7. 7

   While the fries roast, mince the garlic until the pieces are smaller than a grain of rice—about the size of pencil-tip dots.

8. 8

   Remove the sheet pan from the oven and immediately sprinkle the minced garlic over the hot fries, stirring quickly to distribute it evenly.

9. 9

   Drizzle 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar over the fries and stir to coat.

10. 10

    Scatter 2 tablespoons chopped parsley over the top and toss once more, then taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
