• Remove from pan with slotted spoon to paper bag.
• Serve with whole clove of garlic: each person can crush the clove with their fork and mix into their potatoes.

Fry potatoes, turning over once with a slotted spoon, until crisp, golden, and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain briefly. Fry remaining potato mixture in batches in same manner.
