Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup (60 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped
- 2¼ cups (560 ml) beef broth
- 1¹⁄³ cups (280 ml) chicken broth
- freshly ground black pepper
- 2 pounds (960 g) Russet potatoes,peeled and cut into sticks (1/2 inch (1.25 cm)) thick
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) white vinegar
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup (125 g) grated Cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup (60 g) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup (60 g) chopped parsley
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
Method
Step 1
In a small mixing bowl, combine cornstarch and water. Stir well, until cornstarch is dissolved. Set aside.
Step 2
In a large saucepan, combine melted butter and all-purpose flour. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring, for 5 minutes, until mixture turns golden brown. Add chopped garlic and continue to cook for a further 30 seconds.
Step 3
Add beef and chicken broth and, stirring, bring to a boil. Stir in cornstarch mixture, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 3-5 minutes until sauce thickens. Season to taste with black pepper and salt if necessary. Set sauce aside and keep warm.
Step 4
Place potato sticks in a large pot. Add enough cold water to cover by 2 inches (5 cm). Add vinegar and bring the pot to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. Drain and place cooked potato sticks on a paper towel to absorb moisture. Move potatoes to a wire rack, in a single layer, and allow them to dry completely.
Step 5
Preheat your oven to 435 F (215 C) with the racks in the upper and lower third of the oven. Arrange dried potatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss well to coat. Spread potatoes evenly onto 2 baking sheets, leaving some space between potato sticks. (be sure you place them in a single layer)
Step 6
Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, then turn the fries over and rotate the baking sheets top to bottom. Bake for a further 20-30 minutes, then rotate pan top to bottom once more, until golden brown.
Step 7
In a large bowl, combine fried potatoes and reserved warm sauce. Toss well to coat. Sprinkle with cheeses and fresh herbs. Toss well to combine. Season with salt and black pepper. Serve hot.
