HOMEMADE CRISPY SEASONED FRENCH FRIES



Homemade Crispy Seasoned French Fries image

My family loves French fries and with 4 children the bag fries from the store just weren't enough and became too expensive. So I tried batter - after all it makes chicken, shrimp, and onion rings crispy so why not potatoes. Now even my husband can't get enough of these French fries. They even stay crispy when you reheat in the microwave.

Time 25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 ½ pounds russet potatoes, peeled
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon onion salt
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon paprika
½ cup water, or as needed
1 cup vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Slice potatoes into French fries, and place into cold water so they won't turn brown while you prepare the oil.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. While the oil is heating, sift the flour, garlic salt, onion salt, (regular) salt, and paprika into a large bowl. Gradually stir in enough water so that the mixture can be drizzled from a spoon.
  • Dip potato slices into the batter one at a time, and place in the hot oil so they are not touching at first. The fries must be placed into the skillet one at a time, or they will clump together. Fry until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

2 teaspoons paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon onion powder

  • ALTERNATIVE TO FRYING:.

Tips:

  • For the crispiest fries, use a combination of starchy and waxy potatoes.
  • Cut the potatoes into even-sized strips. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Soak the potato strips in cold water for at least 30 minutes. This will help remove the starch and make the fries crispier.
  • Dry the potato strips thoroughly before frying. This will help prevent them from sticking together.
  • Fry the potato strips in hot oil. The ideal temperature is between 325°F and 350°F.
  • Cook the fries in batches so that they don't overcrowd the pan. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Season the fries with salt and pepper, or your favorite spices, immediately after frying.
  • Serve the fries hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Homemade crispy seasoned french fries are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or side dish. By following these tips, you can make sure that your fries are perfectly crispy and flavorful. So next time you're craving french fries, skip the drive-thru and make them at home instead.
