Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 cup Unsalted chicken stock
- 1 liter Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Step 2
Place the cut fries in a large bowl and cover them with hot water and the unsalted chicken stock. Let them soak for about 15 minutes to remove excess starch and enhance flavor.
Step 3
While the potatoes are soaking, in a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, ground black pepper, and cayenne pepper. This will be your seasoning mixture.
Step 4
After 15 minutes, drain the potatoes and thoroughly pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Step 5
In a deep fryer or large heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). You may need to adjust the heat to maintain this temperature.
Step 6
Working in batches, sprinkle the potatoes with the seasoning mixture and toss them lightly to ensure they are well coated.
Step 7
Carefully add a batch of fries to the oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 3 to 4 minutes or until they are lightly golden brown.
Step 8
Remove the fries with a slotted spoon and place them on a baking sheet lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 9
After all the batches have been pre-fried, increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C).
Step 10
Return the fries in batches to the hot oil and fry for an additional 2 to 3 minutes or until they are crisp and deep golden brown.
Step 11
Remove the fries from the oil and drain again on paper towels. Serve hot, and enjoy with your favorite low-sodium dipping sauce.
