Tuscan Fries

Name: Tuscan Fries
Cuisine: European, Italian, Mediterranean
Ingredients: 1 kilogram potatoes (such as Roosters/Yukon Gold); 1½ litres corn oil or flavourless vegetable oil (for frying); 1 bulb garlic (cloves unpeeled); 8 tender top sprigs of a mixture of fresh thyme and rosemary and sage (or herbs of your choice); Maldon sea salt flakes (to taste)

Instructions

This is revolutionary: you put the raw chipped potatoes into cold oil, then heat it up. It sounds crazy, but it works. You’d think it would make them unbearably greasy but in fact you end up with crisp, oil-free fries of utter fabulousness.
