Quick and easy homemade curly fries that taste better than the drive-thru!
Author: Kendall Nelson
Ingredients
- 2 large red potatoes, peeled
- 1 tablespoon garlic salt*
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper (or to taste)
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to its lowest setting. This will help you keep the first batch of fries warm and crispy while you fry the second batch. Line a small baking sheet with paper towels and keep nearby.
- Pour vegetable oil into a large rimmed skillet until about ½-inch deep. Heat to 375 degrees F over medium heat, or until the oil is shimmery and when you little bubbles form and swirl around the handle of a wooden spoon placed into the oil.
- While the oil is heating up, mix together your seasonings in a small bowl or ramekin, and set aside. Then peel your potatoes. Finally, attach the large noodle blade to the spiralizer and slice both potatoes, trimming the strands to your preferred lengths (the shorter they are, the faster and easier they cook!)
- When the oil is hot, carefully place the potatoes in the pan, about ½ at a time (see note). Keep a close eye on the fries, turning them until they are golden brown on all sides, about 3-5 minutes. When done, remove the fries from the oil onto the paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with half of your seasoning blend and toss to coat. Place the first batch in the preheated oven and fry the second batch. When all the fries are done, serve immediately with condiments of your choice.
Notes
*If you don't have garlic salt, you can use 2 teaspoons of garlic powder and 1 teaspoon of fine sea salt (preferably iodized... better for you!).
Frying in batches helps you avoid overcrowding the pan. Too many things frying all at once can drop the oil temperature too much, giving you soggy, not crispy results... Yuck!
