Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 1.5 cups Rice flour
- 0.5 cup Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon White pepper
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 2 cups Cold water
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into 1/4 inch thick sticks.
Rinse the cut potatoes under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
Place the potato sticks in a large bowl of cold water, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
Remove the potatoes from the refrigerator and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a large bowl, combine rice flour, cornstarch, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, white pepper, salt, black pepper, and xanthan gum.
Gradually add the cold water to the dry ingredients, whisking until a smooth batter forms.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C).
Dip the potato sticks into the batter, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Carefully place the coated potato sticks into the hot oil in batches, frying for about 3-4 minutes or until the fries are golden and crispy, turning occasionally.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fries from the oil and drain them on paper towels.
Sprinkle the fries with a little extra salt while they're still hot if desired.
Serve the gluten-free crispy fries immediately for the best taste and texture.
