Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 0.5 cup Cornstarch
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Do not peel.
Using a sharp knife slice the potatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Rinse the sliced potatoes under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix the cornstarch with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
Toss the potato slices in the bowl, ensuring each slice is evenly coated with the cornstarch mixture.
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test by dropping a small piece of potato into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.
Carefully add the coated potato slices to the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the potato slices for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat if necessary to ensure even cooking.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried potato slices from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Sprinkle the fried potatoes with chopped fresh parsley for garnish.
Serve the crispy potato slices hot as a snack, side dish, or appetizer with your favorite vegan dipping sauce.
