Ingredients
Fresh Ingredients
- Fresh Lobster: 1 pound
- Russet Potatoes: 2 large
- Butter: 4 tablespoons
- Garlic: 3 cloves, minced
- Chives: 2 tablespoons, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Start by washing and peeling the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips to create the perfect fry shape. Rinse them in cold water to remove excess starch, which helps achieve ultimate crispiness.
- Fry the Potatoes: Heat a large pot of oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the cut potatoes in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove them with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Cook the Lobster: If you’re using fresh lobster, steam or boil it until cooked through, then let it cool slightly. Remove the meat from the shell and chop it into bite-sized pieces. If using pre-cooked lobster, simply chop it and set aside.
- Make the Garlic Butter: In a small pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Assemble the Dish: In a large serving dish, layer the crispy fries and top them generously with the chopped lobster meat. Drizzle the garlic butter over the top and sprinkle with fresh chives.
Notes
- Use Cold Water: Soaking the cut potatoes in cold water before frying helps remove excess starch for crispier fries.
- Don’t Crowd the Pot: Fry in small batches to ensure even cooking and prevent sogginess.
- Quality Ingredients: Use high-quality lobster and fresh ingredients to elevate the overall taste of the dish.
- Adjust Cooking Time: Keep an eye on the fries while frying to avoid overcooking; they should be golden and crisp.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy the Lobster Fries right after assembling to maintain their crispiness.
