This is something I just kind of cooked up one day. This is a great side dish to a hearty breakfast and the leftovers in the pan are great to cook your eggs in. The amount of spices you put in really are to taste, but I can give the approximate amounts that I use. NOTE: Instead of cooking this in olive oil, bacon drippings can be used.

CRISPY SPICY FRENCH FRIES



Crispy Spicy French Fries image

I found the recipe on the internet. It's amazing. I have also used frozen french fries instead of fresh potatoes and it came out great.

Provided by Across the Ocean

Categories     Potato

Time 25m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 lbs potatoes, peeled
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon onion salt
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 cup water (or more)
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 and spices 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.

Tips:

  • Use the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for classic home fries because they hold their shape well and have a fluffy interior.
  • Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the potatoes will steam instead of fry.
  • Use a well-seasoned skillet: A well-seasoned skillet will help prevent the potatoes from sticking.
  • Cook the potatoes over medium heat: This will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Flip the potatoes frequently: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking.
  • Season the potatoes to taste: You can use salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or any other seasonings you like.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately: Home fries are best served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Classic home fries are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. By following these tips, you can make the best home fries you've ever tasted. So what are you waiting for? Get cooking!
