how to make the CRISPIEST curly fries (3 Steps)

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: cornmeal

Whole wheat flour adds fiber while cornmeal can be more affordable.

vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: canola oil

💰Cheaper: peanut oil

Canola oil is healthier with a higher smoke point, while peanut oil is often cheaper.

Cut Idaho russet potatoes into desired fry shape using a spiralizer attachment.

Soak the spiralized potatoes in cold water to prevent oxidation and remove excess starch.

Heat peanut oil to 320°F for the first fry and cook the potatoes until fully cooked through, then remove and cool in the fridge.

Fry the potatoes a second time at 320°F until they develop a leathery exterior, then cool again in the fridge.

Prepare a dredge with paprika, onion powder, four types of peppercorn, salt, potato starch, and baking powder.

Fry the potatoes a third time at a higher temperature until golden brown and crispy.
