Rice Free Belgian-Style Frites

Crispy on the outside, fluffy in the middle, and made with nothing but potatoes, avocado oil, and a pinch of sea salt — these Belgian-style frites are proof that the simplest ingredients can deliver the most satisfying results. The double-fry method is the real secret here: a low-temperature first pass cooks the potato through, while a blazing-hot second fry locks in that shatteringly crisp exterior that makes these so irresistible. Soaking the cut potatoes in cold water draws out excess starch, which is a small step that makes a genuinely big difference in the final texture. Avocado oil handles the high heat beautifully and keeps the flavor clean and neutral, letting the potato shine. For anyone navigating a rice-free lifestyle, fries can sometimes feel like a minefield of hidden coatings or starchy batters — this recipe skips all of that entirely, with a completely transparent three-ingredient list. A scatter of fresh flat-leaf parsley at the end adds a little color and brightness, though honestly these are just as glorious eaten plain, straight off the rack while they're still steaming.
