• 1 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon onion salt
• 0.5 cup water, or as needed
• 2.5 pounds russet potatoes, peeled

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 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.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Drain fries on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Serve hot and enjoy!
