Curb Basket Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Potatoes

   Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into sticks for fries or into small pieces for tots.

2. 2

   Soak the Potatoes

   Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry.

3. 3

   Heat the Oil

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

4. 4

   Fry the Potatoes

   Carefully add the potatoes to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes for fries and 3-4 minutes for tots.

5. 5

   Drain and Season

   Remove the fries or tots from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve hot as a side dish or snack.
