Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 0.5 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 4 cups oil for frying (such as vegetable or canola oil)
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into even sticks about 1/4 inch thick.
Place the cut potato sticks in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 10 minutes to remove excess starch. This will help them become crispier.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the cornstarch, salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well.
Drain the potato sticks and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels or a clean kitchen cloth.
Lightly toss the dry potato sticks in the cornstarch mixture, ensuring each stick is evenly coated. Shake off any excess cornstarch.
Heat the oil in a large, deep frying pan or deep fryer over medium-high heat to about 350°F (175°C).
Fry the potato sticks in small batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry each batch for about 6-8 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried potato sticks to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the gluten-free crispy fried potato sticks immediately for the best texture. Optionally, season with additional salt to taste.
