Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 cup Olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
Instructions
Scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Using a sharp knife, cut the potatoes into thin slices, about 1/8-inch thick.
Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl of cold water. Let them soak for 5 minutes to remove excess starch, which will help them crisp up nicely.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels, ensuring all excess moisture is removed.
In a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking, reaching around 350°F (175°C).
Carefully add a single layer of potato slices to the hot oil, being cautious not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each batch for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they turn golden brown and crisp.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried potato slices from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Sprinkle this seasoning mixture evenly over the hot, freshly fried potato slices while they are still on the paper towels.
Repeat the frying process for the remaining potato slices, keeping the earlier batches warm in a low oven, if desired.
Serve the Sugar-Free Crispy Fried Potato Slices immediately as a snack or side dish. Enjoy!
