Fried Sticks Ingredients
Fried Sticks Directions
1. Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the potatoes and cut them into long, thin sticks (about 1/4 inch thick). Soak the potato sticks in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.
2. Make the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well. Gradually add water to the dry ingredients, whisking until you have a smooth batter. The batter should be thick enough to coat the potato sticks but not too runny.
3. Heat the Oil
In a large, deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Use a thermometer to check the temperature; it should reach about 350°F (175°C).
4. Fry the Potato Sticks
Dip the dried potato sticks into the batter, ensuring they are well coated. Carefully drop them into the hot oil, a few at a time. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally for even cooking.
5. Drain and Serve
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried sticks from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
