Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large russet potatoes
- 1 cup coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into very thin strips (around 1/8 inch thick) to form shoestring fries. You can use a mandoline slicer for uniform pieces.
Soak the sliced potatoes in a bowl of cold water for at least 10 minutes to remove excess starch and help them crisp up better.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove any excess moisture, as this helps when frying.
In a wide, deep skillet or a heavy-bottomed pot, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C). It is important to maintain this temperature to ensure crisp fries.
Fry the potato strips in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Cook each batch for 5-7 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fries from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Immediately season the hot fries with sea salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Toss well to ensure even coverage.
Serve the Paleo Shoestring French Fries hot as a side dish or snack, enjoying their crispy texture and savory flavors.
