Soak the Potatoes
Place the curly potato pieces in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch, resulting in crispier fries.
Batter Preparation
- 3
Mix the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Gradually add water while whisking until you achieve a smooth batter consistency.
Frying
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the right temperature for frying.

Coat the Potatoes
Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels. Dip each curly potato piece into the batter, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- 6
Fry the Curly Fries
Carefully drop the battered curly fries into the hot oil in small batches. Fry for 4-5 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.

Season and Serve
While still hot, sprinkle the curly fries with optional toppings such as grated Parmesan cheese, chili powder, and fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately.
