rosemary fries
recipe by spike mendelsohn via oprah.com, photo by good stuff eatery, via serious eats
5 pounds Red Bliss potatoes, 1 cup chopped fresh rosemary, 1 cup chopped fresh thyme, 1/4 cup sea salt, Canola oil for deep-frying
Wash and scrub potatoes under cold running water. Pat dry with paper towels. Cut in half lengthwise, then into long strips about 1/4-inch thick.
In a deep pot or deep-fat fryer, heat about 3 inches of oil until a thermometer reads 250°. Line a metal tray or baking sheet with paper towels.
Add one handful of the potatoes to the pot. Fry until tender but have no color. Remove with a slotted spoon. Drain on the paper towels. Repeat the procedure until all the strips are cooked. Refrigerate until cool.
Reheat the oil to 350°. Line the metal tray with fresh paper towels.
Add the cooled potatoes a few handfuls at a time and fry until golden and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon. Drain on the paper towels. Toss with the rosemary, thyme and salt while the slices are still hot. Serve immediately.
