Golden Garlic Butter Potatoes

Ingredients

- 4 large potatoes (about 2 pounds)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Oil, for deep frying

Instructions

1. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin wedges, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
- Place the potato wedges in a bowl of cold water for 15 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch, resulting in crispier potatoes.

2. Heat Oil:
- In a deep fryer or a large heavy-bottomed pot, pour enough oil to cover the potatoes.
- Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) over medium-high heat. Use a thermometer for accuracy.

3. Fry the Potatoes:
- Drain the potato wedges and pat them dry with paper towels to prevent oil splatter.
- Carefully add a batch of potato wedges to the hot oil. Avoid overcrowding the pot, which can lower the oil temperature.
- Fry the potatoes for approximately 6-8 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried potatoes to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- Repeat with remaining potato wedges.

4. Prepare Garlic Butter:
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
- Add the minced garlic to the melted butter. Sauté for about 2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and begins to turn golden.
- Remove from heat immediately to avoid burning the garlic.

5. Toss and Season:
- In a large bowl, toss the fried potato wedges with the warm garlic butter.
- Season generously with salt and a sprinkle of black pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately for optimal crispiness.
