Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 1 liter Vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin sticks about 1/4 inch wide.
Soak the cut potatoes in a large bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
Drain and dry the potato sticks thoroughly using paper towels to ensure they are as dry as possible.
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
While the oil is heating, in a small bowl combine paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the spice blend.
Once the oil is hot, fry the potato sticks in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot, for about 3-4 minutes or until they start to get slightly golden.
Remove the fries from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C), then fry the potatoes again in small batches for another 2-3 minutes or until they are crispy and golden brown.
Drain the twice-fried fries on fresh paper towels.
While the fries are still hot, sprinkle the spice blend generously over the fries. Toss them well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Serve the spicy fries immediately as a side dish or a snack.
