Method
Potato Preparation
- 1
Wash and Cut Potatoes
Start by washing the Russet potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Cut each potato into thick waffle shapes using a waffle cutter or a knife.
- 2
Soak Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl filled with cold water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps achieve a crispy texture.
- 3
Prepare Oil
In a deep frying pan or a deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can use a thermometer to check the temperature.
- 4
Dry Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels. This step is crucial to avoid splattering when frying.
- 5
Season Potatoes
In a large bowl, toss the dried potato waffle fries with salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Frying
- 6
Fry the Waffle Fries
Carefully add the seasoned waffle fries to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- 7
Drain and Cool
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with additional salt if desired.
Dipping Sauce (optional)
- 8
Mix Dipping Sauce
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, and Sriracha. Stir well until fully blended and adjust the spiciness to taste.
