Fries

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin fries, approximately 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Soak the Fries

    Soak the cut fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry.

  3. 3

    Fry the Potatoes

    In a large pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Toss with Seasoning

    In a large mixing bowl, combine garlic powder, cracked black pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, white pepper, paprika, and salt. Toss the hot fries in the bowl until evenly coated with the garlic sauce and seasoning.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the Firecracker Fries in a basket with a side of peppercorn ranch for dipping.
