Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 500 ml Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
• 1 medium Lemon

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into even-sized matchsticks, about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2

Place the cut potatoes into a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch, making them crispier when fried.

Step 3

After soaking, drain and pat the potato sticks completely dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

Step 4

Pour the vegetable oil into a large deep frying pan or a heavy-bottomed deep pot. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches approximately 350°F (175°C).

Step 5

Fry the potatoes in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Each batch should cook for about 4-5 minutes until they start turning a light golden color. Remove the fries and drain on paper towels.

Step 6

Increase the heat under the oil to 375°F (190°C). Fry the fries a second time in batches for 2-3 minutes or until they turn a rich golden brown and develop a crispy exterior. Drain again on fresh paper towels.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, paprika, turmeric powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 8

Transfer the hot fries into a large mixing bowl and immediately sprinkle the spice mix over the fries. Toss well to ensure an even coat of spices on all fries.

Step 9

Finely chop the cilantro and sprinkle over the spiced fries.

Step 10

Squeeze the juice of a fresh lemon over the fries for an added tangy flavor.

Step 11

Serve the Dairy-Free Masala Fries hot as a side dish or snack, garnished with more cilantro if desired.
