Ingredients
- 4 whole Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (soy-free)
Directions
Step 1
Peel and cut potatoes into fries about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 2
Place the cut fries into a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 15 minutes to remove excess starch. This will help them crisp up during cooking.
Step 3
Drain the potatoes and thoroughly pat them dry with paper towels to prevent oil splatters.
Step 4
In a large bowl, combine cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper.
Step 5
Toss the dried potatoes in the spice mix until they are fully coated.
Step 6
Heat the soybean-free vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 350°F (175°C).
Step 7
Carefully add the fries into the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding, and fry for about 4-5 minutes until they become golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Remove the fries with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the fries hot, optionally adding more salt to taste, alongside your favorite dipping sauce.
