Fries
Method
Preparation

Soak the Fries
Place the curly fries 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.
Cooking
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.

Coat and Fry
Drain the soaked fries and pat them dry with a paper towel. In a bowl, mix the cornstarch, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. Toss the fries in the seasoning mixture until evenly coated. Carefully add the fries to the hot oil in batches and fry for about 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
