    Ingredients
     

    • canola oil - cover the potatoes by about 1 inch
    • 2 pounds russet potatoes - washed and sliced into french fry sticks
    • 1 head garlic - cloves separated but not peeled
    • 4 stems rosemary - fresh, leaves plucked
    • salt - to taste, or flavored salt

    Instructions

    • Place the potato strips in a colander, and rinse well under running water, then shake off any excess water.
    • Put them in a large frying pot, and cover with oil by about 1 inch (2 cm).
    • Put the pot over medium heat, and cook for about 15 minutes - the oil will begin to bubble.
    • Continue cooking for about 30 more minutes, using a spatula to gently separate the fries from time to time.
    • When the potatoes have softened, increase the heat to medium high and cook for about 15 - 20 more minutes, they should start to turn golden and get crispy.
    • Add the unpeeled garlic for the last 5 minutes of cooking, and about 2 minutes before they are done, sprinkle in the rosemary leaves.
    • Remove the fries with a slotted spoon, allow to drain briefly, then toss with fleur de sel and serve warm.

      This recipe doesn't make sense to me. You have the fries in oil for a full hour!
