Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, chopped)
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized sticks about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 2
Place the potato sticks in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for 15 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well to create a dry coating mixture.
Step 4
Add the potato sticks to the bowl with the coating mixture and toss until they are evenly coated.
Step 5
In a deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure accurate temperature control.
Step 6
Working in small batches, carefully add the potato sticks to the hot oil. Fry for 4 to 6 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried potato sticks to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 8
Sprinkle the hot potato sticks with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley, if desired, for added flavor and presentation.
Step 9
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara, ranch, or garlic aioli.
