Crispy french fries tossed in a spicy, tangy seasoning blend.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs potatoes, cut into fry shape
- 4 cups vegetable oil for frying
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes. Drain and pat them completely dry.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to 325°F (160°C).
- Fry the potatoes in batches until they are pale golden, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C).
- Fry the potatoes again until they are golden brown and crisp, about 2-4 minutes. Remove and drain well.
- In a small bowl, mix the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper to create the seasoning mix.
- Place the hot fries in a large bowl. Drizzle with lemon juice and immediately sprinkle the seasoning mix over the fries. Toss gently to coat evenly.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra crispness, double-fry the potatoes as instructed.
- Adjust the cayenne pepper amount based on your preferred level of heat.
