Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 1.5 liters Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
Place the potato strips in a large bowl of cold water to remove excess starch and let them sit for at least 15 minutes.
While the potatoes are soaking, mix together the cornstarch, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and chili powder in a small bowl.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly using a kitchen towel or paper towels.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 325°F (165°C).
Carefully add the potatoes into the hot oil in small batches, frying them for 4-5 minutes until they start to turn a light golden color.
Remove the potatoes from the oil and let them drain on a rack or paper towels. Allow them to cool for at least 10 minutes.
Raise the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C).
Refry the potatoes in batches for another 3-4 minutes until they become golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fries from the oil and immediately toss them with the prepared spice mixture to ensure even coating.
Serve the dairy-free KFC style crispy fries immediately for the best taste and texture.
