Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375F.

Step 2

Place a large saucepan with plenty of salted water over high heat. Bring to a boil, add the potatoes, and blanch for 5 minutes. Drain, then place in a bowl with the garlic, paprikas, olive oil, semolina, salt, and plenty of pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly, be careful not to break the potatoes.

Step 3

Arrange across two parchment-lined baking sheets in a single layer. Avoid crowding the potatoes so they will color nicely. Roast for about 30-40 minutes, flipping the fries half way through, until the fries are deeply golden and crisp.
