Instructions:
To make the fries, pre-heat the oven to 220°c. In a large bowl, toss the sliced potatoes and oil together then transfer to a greased baking tray. Ensure the potatoes are in an even layer, use more trays if necessary. Place the trays in the oven and allow to bake for 45 minutes - 1 hour, turning the fries halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crisp. Remove from the oven and season with salt. To make the sauce, fry the mushrooms in 2 tablespoons of oil until golden brown then add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Add the cream and milk then allow to come to a gentle simmer. Cook the sauce for 10 minutes until thickened then season with lemon juice, salt and pepper. Serve the sauce over the fries and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
