Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 cup Water
- 6 cups Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin, even strips (approximately 1/4-inch thick). Submerge the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water to remove excess starch and prevent browning.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, paprika, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Step 3
Gradually add the water to the dry ingredients while whisking, creating a smooth and slightly thick batter. Adjust the consistency with a small amount of additional water if needed.
Step 4
Remove the potatoes from the water and pat them completely dry using clean kitchen towels or paper towels to avoid splattering when frying.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large, heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the oil’s temperature for consistent frying.
Step 6
Dip a handful of the dried potato slices into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated. Carefully lower the coated potatoes into the hot oil in small batches to avoid overcrowding.
Step 7
Fry the batter-dipped French fries for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked fries to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Repeat the dipping and frying process with the remaining potato slices, maintaining the oil temperature between batches.
Step 9
Season the hot fries with additional salt if desired and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces.
