Pommes Frites With Parsley Butter
- Pommes Frites:
- Parsley Butter:
- 1. Pour the oil into a deep fryer or heavy saucepan to reach halfway up the sides and heat to 325 degrees F, use a deep-fry thermometer to determine this.
- 2. While the oil is heating, peel the skin off the potatoes and cut them into uniform 1/4-inch sticks; feel free to use a knife, mandoline, or French fry cutter.
- 3. Dry the potato sticks thoroughly to keep the hot oil from splattering.
- 4. Fry the potatoes in batches so the pot isn't crowded and the oil temperature does not plummet. 5. Cook the French fries for 3 minutes, until soft but not browned. Remove the fries with a long-handled metal strainer and drain on brown paper bags.
- 6. Increase the oil temperature to 375 degrees F. Return the par-fried potatoes to the oil and cook a second time for 2 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
- 7. Drain on fresh brown paper bags then place in a serving bowl. Salt the fries while they're still hot and pour the parsley butter on top; toss gently to combine.
- 8. Wrap the pommes frites in parchment paper cones and stick them in the bottom of mini martini shakers for serving individually.
- 9. To make the parsley butter: combine the butter, parsley, and garlic in a saucepan over medium heat. Swirl the pan around until the butter is completely melted.
