Crispy Seasoned Fries

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Seasoned Fries.

1. Step 1

   Start by slicing your peeled russet potatoes into classic French fry shapes, making sure they’re all about the same size for even cooking.

2. Step 2

   To keep them from turning brown, toss the cut fries into a large bowl filled with cold water and let them soak while you prepare the batter.

3. Step 3

   Next, grab a heavy saucepan or a large skillet and heat vegetable oil to a sizzling 350°F (175°C).

4. Step 4

   While the oil warms up, take a moment to mix together all-purpose flour, garlic salt, onion salt, paprika, and a pinch of regular salt in a large bowl.

5. Step 5

   Gradually stir in enough water to create a slightly thick batter that can easily drizzle from a spoon—this is what will give your fries that delicious, crispy coating.

6. Step 6

   Once the oil is hot and ready, drain the fries and gently pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

7. Step 7

   Now, it’s time for the fun part! Dip each fry into the batter one by one, ensuring they’re well coated for maximum flavor.

8. Step 8

   Carefully lower the battered fries into the hot oil in small batches, being mindful not to overcrowd the pan.

9. Step 9

   Fry them until they turn a beautiful golden brown and become irresistibly crispy, which should take about 7 to 10 minutes.

10. Step 10

    Once they’re cooked to perfection, use a slotted spoon to remove the fries from the oil and let them drain on a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any extra oil.

11. Step 11

    Serve your homemade crispy seasoned French fries hot, and get ready to enjoy a delightful treat that’s sure to impress family and friends!.
