Homemade Crispy Seasoned French Fries

By Edoo

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1 teaspoon onion salt
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 cup water, or as needed
• 1 cup vegetable oil for frying

Preparation

Step 1

Slice potatoes into French fries, and place into cold water so they won't turn brown while you prepare the oil.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. While the oil is heating, sift the flour, garlic salt, onion salt, (regular) salt, and paprika into a large bowl. Gradually stir in enough water so that the mixture can be drizzled from a spoon.

Dip potato slices into the batter one at a time, and place in the hot oil so they are not touching at first. The fries must be placed into the skillet one at a time, or they will clump together. Fry until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
