WILL'S SPICY NEW ORLEANS CATFISH FRIES

Categories     Seafood     Fish     Catfish

Time 20m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (10 ounce) fillet frozen catfish
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
½ cup corn flour
salt and pepper to taste
1 quart oil for frying

Steps:

  • Lay catfish fillet horizontally on cutting board. Cut thin 1/4 inch wide strips from the filet at a 45 degree angle. This is easy if your knife is sharp, and the filet is partly frozen.
  • Dust fish strips moderately with cayenne pepper, and gently tumble together to evenly coat all strips. They should look pink all over when you are through. On the Bayou, this is called a dry marinade. Place catfish strips on a plate or pan, and set aside for a few minutes to thaw.
  • Heat oil in deep-fryer to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C). Place enough corn flour to bread your catfish on a bowl or plate, and season with salt and black pepper.
  • Place thawed catfish into seasoned corn flour, and tumble gently until all strips are evenly coated. Deep fry in hot oil for about 3 minutes, or until done. Fish should be golden brown, slightly crisp outside, and moist and flaky inside when done.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/4 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Dash hot sauce
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
Twelve 3/4- to 1-inch-wide dill pickle spears
Vegetable oil, for deep-frying

ATKINS LIGHTLY SPICY TURNIP FRIES

Make and share this Atkins Lightly Spicy Turnip Fries recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Orions Wife

Categories     Vegetable

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 turnips, trimmed and peeled
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon chili powder

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425°F Cut turnips into 2 x 1/2-inch sticks. Place on a foil-lined jelly-roll pan. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with salt and chili powder. Toss with your hands to coat. Spread out in a single layer. Roast fries 30 minutes, turning halfway through cooking time for even browning. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use russet potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best type of potato for making french fries because they are low in starch and have a high solids content. This results in a crispy fry that is not too soft or fluffy.
  • Cut the potatoes into even strips: This will help them cook evenly. The ideal thickness for french fries is about 1/4-inch.
  • Soak the potatoes in water: This will help to remove the starch from the potatoes, which will also result in a crispier fry. Soak the potatoes for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Dry the potatoes thoroughly: Before frying the potatoes, make sure they are completely dry. This will help them to crisp up and not become soggy.
  • Use a high-quality oil: The type of oil you use will also affect the taste of your french fries. Use a high-quality oil that has a high smoke point, such as vegetable oil or canola oil.
  • Fry the potatoes in batches: Do not overcrowd the pan when frying the potatoes. This will cause them to steam and become soggy. Fry the potatoes in batches, and make sure they are not touching each other.
  • Season the fries immediately: As soon as the fries are done frying, season them immediately with salt and other spices. This will help the seasoning to stick to the fries.

Conclusion:

Spicy french fries are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or side dish. By following the tips above, you can make perfect spicy french fries at home. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
