Seasoned Fries
Method
Preparation
Prepare the Calamari
In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. In another bowl, pour the buttermilk. Dip each calamari ring into the buttermilk, then dredge in the flour mixture until fully coated.
Fry the Calamari
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated calamari rings in batches. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Bake the Fries
Spread the seasoned fries on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.
