Criss Cuts Recipe

Preparation Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Potatoes

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

2. 2

   Soak the Potatoes

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

3. 3

   Prepare the Coating

   In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

4. 4

   Heat the Oil

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

5. 5

   Coat the Potatoes

   Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with a paper towel. Toss them in the flour mixture until evenly coated.

6. 6

   Fry the Potatoes

   Carefully add the coated curly fries to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden and crispy, about 3-5 minutes.

7. 7

   Drain and Serve

   Remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with additional salt and serve hot.
