Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Plant-based milk
- 4 cups Oil for frying
Directions
Step 1
Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1/4 inch thick fries. Place the sliced potatoes into a bowl of cold water to remove excess starch, let them soak for at least 10 minutes.
Step 2
While the potatoes are soaking, in a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, pour the plant-based milk.
Step 4
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry completely using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 5
Dip the potato slices into the plant-based milk to coat, then dredge them in the flour mixture. Ensure each fry is coated evenly. Place the coated fries on a baking sheet.
Step 6
In a large heavy-bottomed pot, heat the oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a kitchen thermometer for accuracy.
Step 7
Carefully add a batch of coated fries into the hot oil. Cook them in batches to maintain the oil temperature and ensure even cooking.
Step 8
Fry the potatoes for about 6-8 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove them from the oil using a slotted spoon and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 teaspoon of salt over the hot fries.
Step 10
Repeat the frying process with the remaining coated fries.
Step 11
Serve the hot, crispy fries with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy your homemade vegan KFC-style crispy fries!
