Crispy on the outside, fluffy in the middle, and seasoned with nothing but good salt ā these classic double-fried frites are the kind of simple, satisfying food that genuinely hits the spot. The ingredient list is refreshingly short: russet potatoes, avocado oil, and sea salt, so you know exactly what you're eating without having to decode a label. That matters when you're paying closer attention to what goes into your body, and this recipe keeps things clean and straightforward. The two-stage frying method ā a low-temperature par-fry followed by a high-heat finish ā is what gives these frites their signature shatter-crisp exterior, and it's easier to pull off at home than it sounds. Avocado oil is a great choice here because of its high smoke point, and it keeps the flavor neutral so the potato really shines. A handful of fresh flat-leaf parsley scattered on top at the end adds a bright, herby finish that makes the whole plate feel a little more special. These are the kind of frites you'll want to make on repeat.

Cut the peeled potatoes into sticks about 3/8 inch (1 cm) wide and 3 inches (7.5 cm) long, keeping them as uniform as possible. Place the cut frites in a large bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes, until the water turns cloudy with starch.
Drain the frites and spread them in a single layer on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Pat thoroughly dry ā any surface moisture will cause the oil to spatter and prevent crisping.
