Ingredients

• 4 large potatoes
• 2 tbsp of corn starch

• 1 tsp of paprika
• 1 tsp of salt
• Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

1. Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into strips, about ¼ inch thick.
2. Place the potato strips in a bowl of cold water to remove excess starch.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the corn starch, garlic powder, paprika, and salt together.
4. Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a paper towel. Add them to the bowl with the spice mixture and toss gently until fully coated.
5. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot until it reaches 375°F. Carefully add the coated potatoes to the oil and fry for 4-5 minutes or until they are golden brown.
6. Remove the fries from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate or wire rack. Let them cool for a minute before serving.

FAQs

• Q: Can I skip the corn starch in this recipe?
• A: No, corn starch is what makes these fries crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Skipping it will result in soggy fries.
• Q: Can I use a different type of seasoning?
• A: Yes, feel free to experiment with your favorite seasonings. Just make sure to keep the ratio of salt and corn starch the same.
• Q: Why do I need to soak the potatoes in water?
• A: Soaking the potatoes in water removes excess starch, which can make the fries mushy instead of crispy. It also helps to prevent the potatoes from sticking together during frying.
• Q: Can I reuse the oil?
• A: While it is possible to reuse the oil, it is not recommended. Reusing oil can not only affect the flavor of your fries, but it can also be a safety hazard if the oil starts to smoke or catch fire.
• Q: How do I store these fries?
• A: You can store leftover fries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them in the oven or toaster oven to maintain their crispiness.
