Curly Fries Recipe

Curly Fries 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. If you don’t have a spiralizer, you can cut them into thin strips.

2. 2

   Soak the Potatoes

   Place the curly potato slices in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.

3. 3

   Drain and Dry the Potatoes

   After soaking, drain the water and pat the curly fries dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

4. 4

   Prepare the Coating

   In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

5. 5

   Coat the Fries

   Toss the dry curly fries in the flour mixture until they are evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour.

6. 6

   Heat the Oil

   In a deep pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to check the temperature.

7. 7

   Fry the Curly Fries

   Carefully add a handful of the coated curly fries to the hot oil. Fry in batches for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain.

8. 8

   Season the Fries

   While the fries are still hot, sprinkle them with BBQ seasoning to taste and toss to combine.

9. 9

   Prepare Horsey Sauce

   In a small bowl, mix equal parts mayonnaise and prepared horseradish. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir until well combined.

10. 10

    Serve

    Serve the crispy curly fries hot with the homemade horseradish sauce on the side for dipping.
