Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 0.5 cup Cornstarch
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Do not peel.
Step 2
Using a sharp knife slice the potatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Step 3
Rinse the sliced potatoes under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 4
In a medium-sized bowl, mix the cornstarch with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
Step 5
Toss the potato slices in the bowl, ensuring each slice is evenly coated with the cornstarch mixture.
Step 6
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test by dropping a small piece of potato into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.
Step 7
Carefully add the coated potato slices to the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 8
Fry the potato slices for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat if necessary to ensure even cooking.
Step 9
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried potato slices from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 10
Sprinkle the fried potatoes with chopped fresh parsley for garnish.
Step 11
Serve the crispy potato slices hot as a snack, side dish, or appetizer with your favorite vegan dipping sauce.
