Curly Fries Ingredients

Method

Curly Fries Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Using a spiralizer or curly fry cutter, cut the potatoes into curly shapes.

  2. 2

    Soak the Fries

    Place the cut curly fries in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 3

    Make the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep fryer or large pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Coat the Fries

    Drain the curly fries and pat them dry with paper towels. Toss them in the flour mixture until evenly coated.

  6. 6

    Fry the Curly Fries

    Carefully drop the coated curly fries into the hot oil in small batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes.

  7. 7

    Drain and Season

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Serve the curly fries hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
