Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (soy-free)
Instructions
Peel and cut potatoes into fries about 1/4 inch thick.
Place the cut fries into a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 15 minutes to remove excess starch. This will help them crisp up during cooking.
Drain the potatoes and thoroughly pat them dry with paper towels to prevent oil splatters.
In a large bowl, combine cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper.
Toss the dried potatoes in the spice mix until they are fully coated.
Heat the soybean-free vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully add the fries into the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding, and fry for about 4-5 minutes until they become golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fries with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
Serve the fries hot, optionally adding more salt to taste, alongside your favorite dipping sauce.
