Authentic Large Country Fries with Premium Guérande Salt – Chef Hubert's Recipe

Ingredients for 12 servings
  • Bintje potatoes
    1 kg 200 g
  • Garlic
    20 g
  • Guérande salt
    5 g
  • Curly parsley
    ¼ bunch
  • Clarified butter
    2 tablespoons
  • Duck fat
    1 tablespoon


Preparation
  • Preparation time: 25 minutes
  • Cooking time: 15 minutes


Difficulty: Easy

Peel the potatoes and cut them into large wedges, similar to orange segments. Wash thoroughly, drain, and pat dry using a clean cloth or salad spinner for optimal crispiness.

Heat the clarified butter and duck fat in a pan. Add the garlic and potato wedges. Reduce the heat and gently brown on all sides, turning occasionally with a wooden spatula. Cover and cook for 15 minutes. (Alternatively, use oil for frying.)

Drain the fries well, then return to a saucepan. Drizzle with additional clarified butter if desired, season with coarse Guérande salt, and sprinkle with finely chopped parsley.

Pro Tip: Prepare these fries ahead for extra crispiness: Whisk 2 egg yolks lightly, toss with the hot fries while stirring briskly by hand. Season with salt and parsley, transfer to an oven-safe dish, and keep warm in a low oven (preheated to 180°C) until serving.
