The Bier Markt pomme frites |
But incase you don't know me, I don't like to do anything that is usual or expected. So in trying to decide how to make french fries unique, Chase, Jocelyn (the friend, a.k.a. Jocy-kat), and I found ourselves in a conversation that flowed like this: love for Flight of the Conchords>the Simon and Garfunkel spoof of FOC>Parsley, Rosemary, Sage, and Thyme>all of these herbs being great with fries>making french fries inspired by Simon and Garfunkel.
Alright, now that that is clear, I bought all of the necessary herbs, potatoes, garlic and I was ready to cook! So making french fries is really not as hard as it seems. First preheat oven to 400 degrees, wash your potatoes (the same kind you make mashed potatoes with is fine) and cut into strips, I realized having them a nice medium thickness is best, not too thin and not too thick. Next, get out your frying pan and cover the bottom of the pan with about a 1/2 inch of olive oil, add rosemary, parsley and lightly chopped garlic cloves to the oil and turn that baby up to high. Once the oil starts to bubble, wait a minute and then put the fries into the oil making sure that all of the fries touch the bottom of the pan. Toss the fries around after a minute, making sure that all sides are getting a nice crispy coating. After the fries have gotten a nice golden crisp in the frying pan put them on a baking sheet and into the oven for 10 minutes. Take out and toss with some salt and pepper.
