Ingredients

  • 2 lbs potatoes peeled and sliced into fries
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • pinch of cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 - 1/2 cup water as needed
  • oil for frying

Instructions

  • Add 3 inches of oil to a large sauce pan and heat over medium heat until 375 degrees.
  • Sift together the flour and seasonings in a large bowl. Add 1/4 cup of water and mix well. Add additional water as needed until the batter is thin enough to drizzle off of your spoon.
  • Add a handful of fries to the batter and toss to coat. 
  • Place the fries into the hot oil one at a time. Do not add the fries all at once as they will clump together.
  • Fry until the outsides are crisp and browned and the insides are soft and fluffy, about 10 minutes.
  • Drain on a paper towel lined plate and serve hot.
