Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
- 4 cups Cold water
Directions
Step 1
Peel the russet potatoes and slice them into thin strips, approximately 1/4-inch thick.
Step 2
Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl filled with cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch, resulting in crispier fries.
Step 3
In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, ground black pepper, and salt.
Step 4
Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Ensure that they are completely dry.
Step 5
Coat the dried potato slices with the flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly covered. Shake off any excess flour.
Step 6
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to maintain the temperature.
Step 7
Carefully add a batch of the coated potato slices into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry them in batches.
Step 8
Cook each batch for about 4-5 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fries from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 10
Season the hot fries with additional salt if desired and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
