Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, chopped)
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized sticks about 1/4 inch thick.
Place the potato sticks in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for 15 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
In a large mixing bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well to create a dry coating mixture.
Add the potato sticks to the bowl with the coating mixture and toss until they are evenly coated.
In a deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure accurate temperature control.
Working in small batches, carefully add the potato sticks to the hot oil. Fry for 4 to 6 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried potato sticks to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Sprinkle the hot potato sticks with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley, if desired, for added flavor and presentation.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara, ranch, or garlic aioli.
