Shoestring Fries Recipe
Description
This Shoestring Fries recipe begins by julienning russet potatoes into very thin strips without peeling. The fries are tossed with olive oil, finely minced fresh rosemary, and sea salt, coating each piece evenly before baking on parchment-lined sheets at a high temperature. After about 20 minutes, the fries are flipped and baked further until a balance of crispness and tenderness is achieved. Parmesan cheese and fresh chopped parsley are sprinkled on immediately after baking, adding savory depth and freshness.
The accompanying lemon garlic mayonnaise combines mayonnaise with lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, finely minced garlic, and a pinch of salt to create a bright, tangy dip that complements the fries' rosemary flavor perfectly.
This preparation yields fries that offer a crisp texture with herbal and cheesy notes, suitable as a side dish or snack. The thin cut allows for quicker baking and a delicate crunch compared to thicker fries.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lb russet potato
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon rosemary finely minced, fresh
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste, sea salt
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- parsley to serve, chopped
Lemon Garlic Mayonnaise
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh is best!
- 1 medium garlic finely minced, clove
- 1 pinch salt sea salt
Instructions
- To make the lemon garlic mayonnaise, stir the ingredients together in a small bowl. Set it aside in your fridge until you are ready to serve it.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line 2 - 13"x18" baking sheets with parchment paper. Scrub the potatoes and dry them well. There's no need to peel them. Use the julienne blade on your mandoline to cut the potatoes into thin strips. Place the strips into a large bowl, add the olive oil, rosemary, and salt, and toss to coat well.
- Divide the fries between the two baking sheets and place them into the oven. Cook for 20 minutes then remove the pans from the oven and flip the fries with a pair of tongs. Return the fries to the oven for another 10-15 minutes but check the fries every 5 minutes and remove any that are quite brown.
- The fries are done when about half of them are crispy and brown. Remove the fries from the oven, add any fries you had removed earlier, and sprinkle them with the parmesan cheese and parsley.
