Homemade Crispy Seasoned French Fries

Ingredients

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

Instructions

1. 1

   Slice potatoes into French fries and place them into a large bowl of cold water to prevent them from turning brown.

2. 2

   Heat oil in a heavy saucepan or large skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

3. 3

   While the oil is heating, sift flour, garlic salt, onion salt, paprika, and salt into a large bowl. Gradually stir in enough water to make a slightly thick batter that can be drizzled from a spoon.

4. 4

   Drain fries and pat dry; dip into the batter one at a time.

5. 5

   Lower fries carefully into the hot oil in batches to prevent them from clumping together. Fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 7 to 10 minutes.

6. 6

   Drain fries on a paper towel-lined plate.

7. 7

   Serve hot and enjoy!
