Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Wash and Peel Potatoes

    Thoroughly wash the large potatoes under cold running water. Peel the skin off using a vegetable peeler or knife, and then pat them dry with a paper towel.

  2. 2

    Slice the Potatoes

    Using a spiralizer or a vegetable slicer, cut the potatoes into thin curls. Aim for uniform thickness for even cooking. If you don't have a spiralizer, you can use a sharp knife to create thin ribbons.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, pour in 2 cups of vegetable oil. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches around 350°F (175°C).

  2. 4

    Fry the Potato Curls

    Carefully add the potato curls to the hot oil in batches. Do not overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 3-5 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate.

  3. 5

    Season the Curls

    While the potato curls are still hot, sprinkle them with salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper to taste. Toss well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.

Serving

  1. 6

    Plate and Serve

    Transfer the seasoned potato curls to a serving platter. If desired, top with grated cheese, chopped green onions, and a dollop of sour cream for added flavor. Serve hot and enjoy!
