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.
