Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 2 medium Sweet potatoes
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese
• 2 teaspoons Sea salt
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 4 cups Vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Peel the Russet and sweet potatoes, then cut them into uniform sticks about 1/4 inch thick for even cooking.

Step 2

Rinse the cut potatoes under cold water to remove excess starch, then soak them in a large bowl of water for at least 15 minutes to improve crispiness.

Step 3

Drain the potatoes and pat them dry completely using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to 325°F (165°C).

Step 5

Fry the potatoes in small batches for 3-4 minutes, just until they are lightly cooked but not browned. Remove and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.

Step 6

Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C).

Step 7

Fry the potatoes a second time in batches for 2-3 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on fresh paper towels.

Step 8

In a large bowl, toss the hot fries with sea salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and finely grated Parmesan cheese for maximum flavor.

Step 9

Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the fries as a garnish.

Step 10

Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces, and enjoy the melange of flavors!
