Crispy Spicy French Fries

Recipe #97763 | 25 min | 15 min prep | add private note

I found the recipe on the internet. It's amazing. I have also used frozen french fries instead of fresh potatoes and it came out great.

SERVES 8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Slice potatoes into French fries, and place into cold water so they won't turn brown while you prepare the oil.
  2. 2
    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. 3
    While the oil is heating, sift the flour and spices into a large bowl.
  4. 4
    Gradually stir in enough water so that the mixture can be drizzled from a spoon.
  5. 5
    Dip potato slices into the batter one at a time, and place in the hot oil so they are not touching at first.
  6. 6
    The fries must be placed into the skillet one at a time, or they will clump together.
  7. 7
    Fry until golden brown and crispy.
  8. 8
    Remove and drain on paper towels.

These fries were excellent along with our burgers and hot dogs on the grill. Loved the flavors from the spices!

    I rarely fry foods, but sometimes you just have to! These were awesome. I did use frozen french fries and served this with French Fry Sauce (Utah-style) or Sauce for French Fries
