- Remove with a slotted spoon to drain any excess oil on a paper towel lined wire rack.
- Let the fries cool for a few minutes, then toss back into the frying oil for 1-2 more minutes for extra crispiness!
- Toss the crispy fries in the remaining black cherry chipotle seasoning.
For the Chimichurri:
- Combine all ingredients in a food processor. Blend until the herbs are finely chopped.
