Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 4 cups Water
Instructions
Peel and slice the potatoes into thin sticks, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
In a large bowl, combine 4 cups of water and the baking soda. Soak the potato sticks in the solution for 15 minutes. This will help them crisp up when fried.
After soaking, drain and rinse the potatoes thoroughly in cold water.
Pat the potato sticks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. The oil should be around 350°F (175°C) for optimal frying.
In a separate bowl, mix together cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and paprika. Toss the dried potato sticks in the mixture until evenly coated.
Carefully place a batch of potato sticks into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fried potato sticks from the oil and drain them on a paper towel-lined tray to absorb excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining potato sticks.
Sprinkle finely chopped fresh rosemary over the hot crispy fries for an aromatic touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low sodium crispy fried potato sticks!
