Also, try these dill french fries! You do have to keep your eye on them while cooking because it’s easy to burn such thinly cut fries, but it’s absolutely worth it. No matter if you’re pairing these with steak, a la steak frites for supper, or nestling them beside bacon and eggs in the morning – you simply can’t go wrong!
Russet potatoes: You’ll need 1 ½ lb of russet potatoes for this recipe. Russet potatoes have a dark brown skin and white flesh, you’ll need to wash them well but no need to peel them. They might also be called Idaho potatoes in your local grocery store. Olive oil: You’ll coat your shoestring fries in olive oil before placing in the oven. Fresh rosemary: Use 1 tablespoon of finely minced rosemary to sprinkle over your oven-baked fries to add a earthy, peppery element to the fries. Sea salt: You simply can’t have fries without some salt. Sea salt has nice big flakes, so you’ll only need ½ teaspoon. Parmesan cheese: Yum! Parmesan cheese really takes these shoestring fries up a level! It gets a little melty on the hot fries, so use a generous amount so it sticks. ½ cup of grated parmesan will do. Parsley: Once the fries are out of the oven, sprinkle with some chopped parsley for some freshness and to balance the oil and cheese.
For the lemon garlic mayo:
Mayonnaise: This is the base of your dipping sauce; a ½ cup will do. Lemon zest: Add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest to give it a real punchy lemon flavor. Lemon juice: 1 tablespoon of lemon juice will add the citrus kick to keep the sauce tasting light and fresh. Garlic clove: Finely mince one medium clove of garlic for some zing. Sea salt: This is to taste, so just a pinch will do!
