Argentinean Fries:
Cut the potatoes into sticks 1/4 inch wide and about 3 inches long. Dry with paper towels.

Into a large bowl, put the parsley and garlic. Transfer to a jar and cover with olive oil.
Increase oil temperature to 375 degrees F. Fry the potatoes in batches until they are golden brown and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain on fresh paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and toss with some parsley-garlic mixture. Toss and serve immediately.
