Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 cups Cold water
Instructions
Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into even sticks, about 1/4 inch thick and 3-4 inches long.
Rinse the potato sticks under cold water to remove excess starch and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Fill a large bowl with cold water and add the potato sticks. Let them soak for about 15 minutes to help them become extra crispy.
Meanwhile, in a heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
Drain the soaked potato sticks and dry them thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel.
In a large bowl, combine the cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Toss the potato sticks in the cornstarch mixture, ensuring an even coating.
Working in batches, carefully add the potato sticks to the hot oil and fry for about 5-6 minutes or until they are golden brown and crisp.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried potato sticks from the oil and drain them on a baking sheet lined with paper towels.
While still hot, season the fried potato sticks with additional salt to taste, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your crispy, golden fried potato sticks!
