Waffle Fries Ingredients
Method
Waffle Fries Directions
- 1
Prep the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut each potato into wedges, aiming for a thickness of about 1/4 inch for the perfect waffle fry texture.
- 2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potato wedges into a large bowl filled with cold water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps them to crisp up when fried.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Ensure there is enough oil to fully submerge the fries.
- 4
Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potato wedges and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess water.
- 5
Fry the Waffle Fries
Carefully add a batch of the dried potato wedges to the hot oil. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Do not overcrowd the pan.
- 6
Season the Fries
Remove the fried fries from the oil and drain them on paper towels. While they are still hot, sprinkle with salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper to taste.
- 7
Add Parmesan (Optional)
If desired, sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the hot waffle fries for an extra layer of flavor.
- 8
Serve
Serve the waffle fries hot as a delicious side or snack. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce!
