Stop what you’re doing right now and make these Garlic and Rosemary French Fries. Be forewarned, however, once you start eating them, you won’t be able to stop.
After cutting potatoes into sticks, they’re deep fried in canola oil along with a full bulb of garlic. To prep the garlic, you slice off the top of the bulb to expose just the tops of the cloves. This frying technique infuses the fries with great garlic flavor.
Once the French fries start to brown and float to the top of the oil, sprigs of fresh rosemary are tossed in, which adds a hint of woodsy, herbal flavor.
I peeled the potatoes with a 4" Paring Knife before cutting them, but you really don’t have to. To cut the French fries, I used the 7" Santoku knife because its blade length is long enough to cut through the length of the potato, allowing for more even cuts.
Also, the ergonomic handle allows for a good, comfortable grip on the knife to reduce fatigue while cutting.
To learn how to cut potatoes for fries, take a look at Cutco's video, How to Cut a Potato 3 Ways.
