Instructions
-
Prepare the Potatoes: Begin by slicing the russet potatoes into strips; for a heartier “steak fry” texture, feel free to leave the skin on, or peel them for a more classic French fry experience.
-
Heat the Oil: In a deep fryer or a large, heavy pot, heat a sufficient amount of oil to deep-fry the fries. The oil should reach a temperature of about 350°F (175°C) for optimal frying.
-
Infuse with Rosemary: Once the oil is hot, carefully add the dried rosemary, allowing its aromatic flavor to infuse the oil for a moment before proceeding.
-
Fry the Potatoes: Gently place the potato strips into the hot oil, being cautious not to overcrowd the pot. Fry until they turn golden brown and are cooked through, usually around 8 to 10 minutes.
-
Season and Serve: Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried potatoes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. While they are still hot, sprinkle generously with salt to enhance the flavor. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces.
