Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 6 medium potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 5 tbsp cornstarch
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • Avocado oil for frying
  • 6 tbsp Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped

Method
 

  1. Boil the potato cubes until soft. Drain them, mash while they’re still hot, and leave them aside to cool.
  2. In a bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until you have a firm dough. If it feels sticky, add a little more cornstarch.
  3. Line a large tray with parchment paper and place the dough on it. Place another sheet of parchment paper on top and roll the dough out to about ¼ inch thick.
  4. Peel off the top parchment paper and cut the dough into long strips with a knife or pizza cutter. Gently separate the strips as they can break easily.
  5. Refrigerate the potato strips for about 45 minutes before frying.
  6. Heat avocado oil in a deep fryer. Add the potato strips in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry for 4–5 minutes or until the fries turn golden brown.
  7. Place the fries on a paper towel to soak up the extra oil. Sprinkle some grated Parmesan and chopped parsley on top.
