Potatoes:
- High-quality vegetable oil for deep frying
- Sea salt
- 2 large russet potatoes
Batter:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- Freshly cracked black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Pinch of kosher salt
Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes
Step 2: Make the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, black pepper, onion powder, and kosher salt. Mix thoroughly until evenly blended.
Step 4: Coat the Potatoes
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy!
Finally, serve your homemade curly fries alongside your favorite dipping sauces. Whether you choose ketchup, ranch, or cheese sauce, you’re in for a treat!
- Stick to Russet Potatoes: For the perfect texture, always use russet potatoes. They have high starch content and create a fluffier interior.
- Don’t Rush the Frying: Letting the oil reach the proper temperature is key. If it’s not hot enough, your fries could become greasy instead of crispy.
- Watch the Batch Size: Fry in small batches. Overcrowding will drop the oil temperature, leading to soggy fries.
- Get Creative with Seasoning: While the classic blend is delightful, feel free to experiment. Add cayenne for spice or Parmesan for a cheesy twist.
- Serve Immediately: These curly fries taste best fresh and hot. They tend to lose their crunch if left uneaten for too long.
