Artificial Flavors Free Belgian-Style Frites

Crispy on the outside, fluffy in the middle, and seasoned with nothing but good salt — these Belgian-style frites are proof that the simplest ingredients make the most satisfying food. Frozen fry bags and fast-food versions are loaded with flavor enhancers, color additives, and ingredient lists that go on forever, so making them from scratch is the cleanest way to get the real thing. The double-fry method is the secret here: a low-temperature first pass cooks the potato all the way through, and a blazing-hot second fry locks in that shatteringly crisp shell that makes authentic frites so irresistible. Avocado oil handles the high heat beautifully, and a cold-water soak pulls out excess starch so every stick fries up evenly golden rather than greasy or pale. A final hit of fine sea salt and a scatter of fresh parsley is all the finishing they need. These are the kind of fries you'll want to eat standing over the rack before they even make it to the table.
