Side-winder Fries Recipe

Fries Preparation

1. 1

   Preparing the Potatoes

   Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin, wavy shapes to create the side-winder effect. Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

2. 2

   Frying the Potatoes

   Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels. Carefully add the potatoes to the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

3. 3

   Seasoning the Fries

   While the fries are still hot, sprinkle them with salt, paprika, and garlic powder to taste. Toss gently to coat.
